The QueensWay will transform a 3.5-mile portion of the abandoned Rockaway Rail Line into an elevated pedestrian and bicycle pathway connecting the communities of Rego Park, Forest Hills, Richmond Hill, and Ozone Park. The project will provide a new public green space, celebrating the cultural diversity of Queens with art, sculpture, and food from around the world.

The Trust for Public Land is working with Friends of the QueensWay and the City of New York to develop a conceptual design for the QueensWay Cultural Greenway. Members of the City Council and New York State elected officials have already expressed their interest in this process. Community engagement and participatory design are hallmarks of The Trust for Public Land's work in New York City. We envision a process that will include community outreach and design charettes to solicit local input.

Consulting services in the areas of design, planning and engineering are sought in connection with feasibility study, framework plan and conceptual design for the Queensway.
