About the route
The proposed Q69 Rush runs northbound to East Elmhurst and southbound to Long Island City.
The proposed length of the Q69 Rush route is 4.9 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 728 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 948 feet.
The route would include connections to the B62, Q18, Q19, Q32, Q33, Q39, Q47, Q60, Q63, Q66, Q101, and Q105. It would also connect to the
trains.Route Improvements
- More direct routing
- Improved stop spacing
Review the Q69 route summary
The proposed Q69 would mostly maintain its existing routing, but would be streamlined at its southern terminal to serve Queens Plaza more directly, instead of looping around 44 Dr. All subway connections would be maintained except for the
train, which can be reached through a transfer to the proposed B62.To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, Q69 stops along Ditmars Blvd and on 21 St between Ditmars Blvd and Broadway would be spaced slightly further apart than existing, while stops along 21 St south of Broadway would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points.
The proposed B62 would provide all-day frequent service to stops on 21 St. Frequencies would be slightly adjusted in certain time periods. No service span changes are being proposed at this time.
