  • Appendix D.3 Scoping Report
    PUBLIC COMMENTS PC00001 LGA Comments <[email protected]> LaGuardia Airport Access Improvement Project Denise Crockett <[email protected]> Thu, May 9, 2019 at 10:44 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear Mr Andrew Brooks: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the LaGuardia Airport Access Improvement Project. As a long term resident of Jamaica, NY, residing along the Grand Central Parkway, I do believe that there is a great need for these proposed improvements. Connecting the LaGuardia Airport to the LIRR and NYCT No. 7 Line is a great idea, but it does not go far enough! Both of these proposed connections are Manhattan centric, that is supporting more ridership between the Airport and the City. This does absolutely nothing to relieve or ease local traffic congestion we experience in Queens on the Long Island Expressway and the Grand Central Parkway with inbound and outbound Long Island traffic. It also does not reduce heavy traffic congestion on the Van Wyck Expressway between JKF and LaGuardia. It would be helpful if the proposed plan included plans to extend the Airtrain light rail service Train which ends at the Jamaica LIRR Station to LaGuardia Airport with a stop at the NYCT No 7 Line. Having lived here for over 40 years and having travelled extensively on business out of both airports, I believe that extending the Airtrain from the Jamaica Station to LaGuardia Airport would be a tremendous improvement and provide many more benefits for the greater NYC area. People traveling from Long Island
