Round 2 of Rail Debate
Times Newsweekly

A forum on the future of the Rockaway Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail Road packed the Queens Tabernacle in Woodhaven on Saturday, Sept. 29 with local residents eager to loudly voice their opinions. Sponsored by the Woodhaven Residents Block Association, the forum featured two speakers: John Rozankowski, a Bronx community activist pushing for the line to be used once again for mass transit; and Andrea Crawford, the chairperson of Community Board 9 and an advocate into transforming the line into a public park dubbed the “Queensway.”
