Renovating the Rockaways

Take the A Train past Howard Beach to the Rockaways. Journeying over the vast expanse of Jamaica Bay, the A train arrives in the Rockaways where the subway stations there are in a serious state of disrepair. If all goes according to plan, however, the MTA will begin work on a $190-million renovation project this fall that would see all nine of the peninsula stations receiving much-needed overhauls. The state legislature must approve the plans, and only after that can the Rockaways finally get modern stations with canopies and public address systems. [The Daily News]
