Full A train service to the Rockaway Peninsula has resumed after a nearly five-month shutdown, celebrated on May 19 by Governor Kathy Hochul and local officials. The closure allowed for extensive modernization of the corridor, critical for the 12,500 daily riders from a community of 125,000. Hochul emphasized the train's importance as a lifeline, fulfilling a promise to restore service by Memorial Day. The project involved a complete reconstruction of key structures to ensure reliable service for future riders.
Governor Hochul emphasized the importance of the A train service, stating it acts as a 'critical lifeline' for Rockaways residents, echoing a commitment made to restore service.
Assembly Member Pheffer Amato highlighted the project's significance, asserting that the upgraded infrastructure will ensure 'reliable service for years to come' and remarked, 'We're back and better than before'.
