"The Interborough Express (IBX), the MTA's planned light rail for a direct link from Queens to Brooklyn, is poised to stop at Wilson Avenue, where officials have mapped it out to connect to the existing L train. Bushwick is home to artsy shops like hemp stores, markets like organic grocers and meet-up joints like cafes and bars on so many blocks."
"Located just over the Queens border, where street signs change from green to brown, indicating a borough change, Bushwick is home to both native New Yorkers and transplants. Reg, an NYC native, said he enjoys visiting the neighborhood. I've been all around the city, he said. This place is great. Leon, who works at Hemp Lab NYC, a shop on Wilson Avenue that sells CBD products, shirts, books and other merchandise."
"The IBX aims to connect Queens and Brooklyn residents who live in transportation deserts, areas of the city that have limited public transit options. The 14-mile train line will start in Queens at Roosevelt Avenue between 72nd and 74th Streets, depending on the MTA's decision on how to connect to the primary 74 Street-Roosevelt Avenue hub in Jackson Heights. The IBX will run along the CSX freight line south to Glendale, where it will switch over to another freight line"
