Local seniors rally against proposed relocation of bus stop on Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside

Over 100 seniors and local residents gathered in Sunnyside Friday, April 10, to rally against the planned relocation of a west-bound bus stop on Queens Boulevard and 39th Place , which protesters said would force seniors with limited mobility to cross a busy street in order to reach the stop in the future.

The current stop for the Q32 and Q60 buses, which is located outside the Sunnyside Community Services (SCS) pre-K entrance at 39-01 Queens Blvd., is set to be moved one block away across the other side of 39th Street, a busy two-way street which advocates say poses a danger to local seniors and young children who use SCS.
