The existing tunnel would enable the QueensWay to pass under the LIRR mainline and a ramp could then be built up to the end of 65th Rd. This would provide a connection in to the commercial heart of Rego Park south of Queens Blvd as well as enable connections north to major shopping malls and Flushing Meadows Corona Park. There is a parking lot at end of 65th that may need to be acquired - not sure if that lot is owned or leased from the City. Alternative is devising a connection directly on to 63rd Drive [from behind Shalimar Diner?] - which in many ways would be preferable but looks like space is very tight and there are conflict issues with pedestrians and cars.
