The A train will not be running between Howard Beach-JFK Airport and Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue or the Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street stations, significantly hindering accessibility for residents and visitors.
The MTA maintains that the suspension of train service is essential for necessary construction aimed at fortifying infrastructure against severe weather, which has increasingly threatened the area.
The Rockaway Line is described as a vital link between the Rockaway Peninsula and New York City. It suffered immense damage during Superstorm Sandy, prompting a need for upgrades that are now imperative.
Measures to mitigate climate change, particularly flooding, form a cornerstone of the MTA's five-year construction plan, addressing the concerns of over 9,000 daily riders.
