About this Event

The Center for Urban Science + Progress (CUSP) at NYU Tandon and Transit Techies welcome you to attend a talk on QueensLink by Noelle Hunter, Design and Communications Lead at QueensLink, and Andrew Lynch, Chief Design Officer at QueensLink. Their presentation will dive into the QueensLink project, which proposes converting an abandoned rail line in Queens into a subway extension, improving transit for underserved areas. It would reduce commute times, stimulate local economies, and integrate green space. The project aims to enhance transportation while promoting economic growth and environmental sustainability.
