New York, NY — I have been working with the MTA and my partners in government to secure additional resources, investments, and support for Rockaway residents as a result of the Rockaway Line Resiliency and Rehabilitation project, and to ensure we restore full service to the Rockaway Peninsula as quickly as possible.

Rockaway residents already intimately feel the impacts of living in an outer-borough area with scarce public transit access, and I am working to ensure we mitigate the impacts of this planned outage on our community. I look forward to gathering additional community input on the planned service outage at a town hall meeting I am hosting on Thursday, November 14th at 7pm at the Rockaway YMCA in partnership with Congressman Gregory Meeks, Senator James Sanders Jr., Assembly Members Stacey Pheffer-Amato and Khaleel Anderson.
