There\u2019s no easy way to make the seven-mile trip from my apartment in Brooklyn to the Middle Village neighborhood in Queens. When I made this journey recently, I took a subway ride into Manhattan on the B train, followed by a transfer to the M, which took me back across the East River and deep into Queens. At the end of the line, 13 stops later, I hopped out at Middle Village station and squeezed on to a packed Q54 bus. With a mob of riders waiting at the curb, it took a full two minutes to board. After we got underway, the last mile of my journey was a 15-minute crawl through stop-and-go traffic. <\/p>\n

My destination was a community meeting where planners from New York\u2019s Metropolitan Transportation Authority were talking about a project, known as the Interborough Express,<\/a> that would make this trip and many others much easier and faster. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s no easy way to make the seven-mile trip from my apartment in Brooklyn to the Middle Village…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[98,288,3339,5869,5867,25963,75,9,24,55,54,56,122,437,35342,608],"class_list":["post-68104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-brooklyn","tag-business","tag-cities","tag-citylab","tag-design","tag-long-island-rail-road-co-the","tag-manhattan","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-queens","tag-regional-plan-association","tag-solutions","tag-transportation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
