    NEIGHBORHOODS a Brief Description by Community Board of Queens Neighborhoods, Current Projects and Local Economic Development Organizations

    NEIGHBORHOODS A brief description by Community Board of Queens neighborhoods, current projects and local economic development organizations. COMMUNITY BOARD 1 Astoria, Old Astoria, Long Island City (north of Queens Plaza), Queensbridge, Ditmars, Ravenswood, Steinway, Garden Bay Across the East River from Manhattan they developed as villages encompassing both residential and emerging industries in the mid to late 1800’s. The Steinway Piano factory built one of the City’s first company towns complete with manufacturing plants, housing and community facilities in 1870. The opening of the Queensborough Bridge in 1909 was a major catalyst in the development of the area. After World War II a many housing developments; Queensbridge Houses, Ravenswood, Queensview and Garden Bay Manor were built. As major manufacturing shifted away from New York City the character of the community has evolved. There are still mid size and small factories as well as many service and distribution operation that benefit from the area’s central location and transportation system. The Entrepreneur’s Space - an incubator for Food & Business recently opened on 37th Street. Queens Plaza was rezoned to bring in residential uses that have transformed the area and brought in thousands of new residents. New infrastructure improvements will enhance the pedestrian and traffic areas. On the north side of Queens Plaza 1 Met Life Plaza is home to Met Life with JetBlue Airlines slated to relocate there. The new Gotham Center on the south side will soon to be home to operations of the New York City Department of Health. New hotels have been built around Queens Plaza that capitalizes on budget travelers.

The study was commissioned by QueensRail Corporation, a 501(c)3 Not- for-Profit that advocates for improved public transportation and in a community sensitive and environmentally responsible way. i ii Page intentionally left blank 1. INTRODUCTION The New York rail and transit systems have been subject to change over the years due to the evolving transportation needs of the city. The continuing evolution and integration of the rail system has been facilitated by the joint ownership of both the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) and Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA.) The QueensLink Corridor, formerly known as the Rockaway Beach Branch (RBB) in Exhibit 1 is a currently disused segment of former LIRR rail line that has been lying idle since service ended in 1962, but the right of way is still in public ownership. QueensRail has worked to create QueensLink, a dual rail and park project and advocates for utilizing this alignment for both rail and trail use. QueensLink is the name for an ambitious, forward thinking, rail and trail project that will be built along the old RBB right-of-way.
