U.S. Rep. Grace Meng and Council Member Shekar Krishnan joined Elmhurst community members, small businesses and transportation advocates Thursday morning to call on the MTA to rebuild and reopen the long-shuttered Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) station in Elmhurst.
The MTA closed down and demolished the elevated station in 1985 due to a decline in ridership, but Meng and other advocates said Thursday that it is “time for this to change.”
