The New Yorker: Tracks
November 10th, 2014
The New Yorker’s Ian Frazier takes readers on a tour of the QueensWay, stopping to take in the green and hear business owners rave about the QueensWay.
Ian Writes: “Hanging out on abandoned railroad tracks, usually an un-civic and unhelpful activity, can be transformed into a good thing with just two words: “linear park.” Make the abandoned railroad tracks into an official public space, with bike paths and benches and plantings, and the people who come to it will no longer be un-civically hanging out—they’ll be enjoying the healthful and sociable attractions of a linear park.”
