About the route
The proposed Q84 Rush runs westbound to Jamaica and eastbound to Laurelton.
The proposed length of the Q84 Rush route is 5.4 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 725 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 828 feet.
The route would include connections to the Q3, Q4, Q5, Q77, Q85, Q86, Q87, Q110, Q111, Q112, Q114, and Q115. It would also connect to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.
Route Improvements
- Improved stop spacing
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the Q84 route summary
The proposed Q84 would mostly maintain its existing routing with a minor realignment approaching Jamaica via Liberty Av and 160 St.
To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, Q84 stops along 120 Av would be spaced slightly further apart than existing, while stops along Merrick Blvd would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points. For riders who need to get on or off on Merrick Blvd, the Q5 would provide frequent service along that corridor.
Frequencies on weekdays would be slightly decreased to reallocate some service to the new Merrick Blvd routes, the Q86 and Q87. Although Q84 frequencies would be slightly decreased, Merrick Blvd as a whole would see an increase in combined service among the proposed routes serving the corridor (Q4, Q5, Q84, Q85, Q86, Q87). Service spans would be slightly increased on weekdays.
