外界开始推测纽约皇后区金钟道改造已经有几个月时间了，但从现在的情况看来，似乎已经透露出了一些信息。热衷于这个项目的人已经分享了一些细节，包括一个3.5英里的高架行车线，区域内增加了许多设施，如滑道和一些乒乓球桌。

构架师也重新设计了人行道及自行车道，改变他们的位置来缓解公众的隐私问题。道路多设计在场地下沉处，依靠两侧的地形进行视觉缓冲。公园入口也增加了通达性，并在入口附近设立了可以遛狗的区域，吸引更多的居民和游人。但是在项目形成之时，质疑之声不绝于耳，因为周围的社区居民认为这个新的公园并不是他们想要的。

我们就这个问题采访了附近的一位居民，就这个问题发表意见，他表现的无动于衷：“我认为这个项目挺幼稚的，它甚至没有考虑交通，停车，以及卫生问题。”“这些道路要去哪里？”这位居民继续说道，“这是一个居民社区，竟然没有设计足够的停车空间，而是将钱投入到这些无用的设计上。”当然，也有一些居民力挺该项设计：“我不知道有什么理由不支持这个项目，它将我们这个街区公园变成了伟大的区域。”

The interwebs have been speculating on what the QueensWay could look like for months now, but we finally got to see a more solidified vision of the possible park at a community workshop this week. Friends of the QueensWay shared a bevy of new details about the project at the event, including a breakdown of how the 3.5 miles of elevated train line could be divvied up into six distinct sections. We also learned more about plans for the repurposed track, which stretches from Rego Park to Ozone Park, to feature exciting amenities like zip-lines and ping-pong tables.

The architects also re-thought the position of the walkways and bike paths to help alleviate the public’s privacy concerns. Instead of having them near the edges, the pedestrian paths will be sunken below the surrounding ground and positioned towards the middle of the platform. What’s more, the designers hope to create a visual buffer to protect all the residents’ privacy with mounds of dirt and trees in between the passing visitors and the edge of the elevated train tracks.

The park will begin with “The Clearing” near the baseball fields at the corner of Fleet and Selfridge Streets. As one of the main entrances to the park, The Clearing could feature wide-open spaces for events, a dog park, and landscape bleachers to extend the seating areas around the baseball parks. From there, the QueensWay would continue on with off-street commuting routes along the North Passage and bike connections to the adjacent subway stations.

Further down the QueensWay, the elevated park would link up with a shopping area where the designers envision a Metropolitan Hub. This section could add easy connections to local shops and better access to Forest Park and the schools around the area. One of the QueensWay’s largest amenities will be the Forest Park Grove. Among the ideas the designers theorized for the area, zip lines could be added along with an adventure playground for kids, a canopy walk, and a giant slide that would wrap around an old railway tower.

Inhabitat spoke with one Forest Hills resident who shared his complete apathy for the project. “I think it is naïve,” Richard Taub said. “No one is going to be able to maintain it; they haven’t considered the traffic, the sanitation issues, or the parking.”“Where are they going?” Taub continued. “This is a residential area, right now we don’t have ample parking.” Instead of seeing money go to waste on a project like the QueensWay, Taub says the group spend it where it could actually be useful like towards NYC schools.Tim Murphy had the opposite sentiment. “I don’t see any reason not to be supportive,” Murphy said. “I live a couple of blocks away from what would be the park and I think it would be a great addition to the area.”
