I'm posting this mainly for the picture of Sunnyside Yard. https://www.nycedc.com/sites/default/fi ... ummary.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Only if there would be enough space to double deck the Sunnyside yard.

It is a great photo.

I wouldn't expect to see this project anytime soon. They only talk about building over Amtrak's side because Cuomo controls the MTA side and is against it. There is also a lot of vocal opposition on the ground since the report lies just about everything transportation related (plenty of parking, subways not overcrowded, etc).

Yep, I wouldn't hold my breath for this either! But the quote in the report (page 6) is:

• With the exception of subway and parking capacity, transportation in and around the Sunnyside Yard Study Area is generally available, accessible, and at or below capacity under current conditions.

That's like me saying that it's a great beach today with the exception of it's being 27 Fahrenheit and windy. The "with the exception of" clause completely invalidates the rest the statement. What has excess capacity-- the Q32 bus?

After five years of planning, Amtrak and the de Blasio administration released the Sunnyside Master Plan last week, outlining a massive, $14 billion dollar framework that will guide the future development of 180 acres for affordable homes, jobs, transportation, social infrastructure and open space on a deck that will cantilever above Amtrak’s Sunnyside Yard’s property in Queens.
