Sitting at the geographic heart of New York City, LIC’s
central location and unparalleled accessibility provides
fast and easy transit options to Manhattan, Brooklyn and
other parts of NYC, as well as the surrounding suburbs,
and the airports. Even fellow New Yorkers are surprised
at how accessible everything is in LIC.
Today there is growing demand to expand upon this
historic infrastructure, both by providing more ways
for traveling within the LIC neighborhood, and by
further connecting the multiple local, commuter and
regional lines. A number of companies testing microtransit,
alternative-fuel and last mile modes of travel are
looking to launch in LIC. LICP is exploring these with
area stakeholders and government agencies as we work to
improve the public realm and make getting around LIC on
foot, bike, and vehicle safer and a more pleasant journey.
Further, as LIC continues to grow, the need for the longcalled
for intermodal transit hub at Sunnyside Yard is more
evident. Current work toward creating a master plan for the
180-acre Sunnyside Yard may help bring this hub to life,
becoming NYC’s next epicenter of regional transit.
