It would also terminate at Metropolitan Avenue and Fresh Pond Road, serving the M Train at the Middle Village Station. The proposed Q47 routing would be realigned at its southern end to serve 69th Street in Maspeth instead of 80th Street. “Rerouting this will cause them to take two to three buses, which will add tremendously to their commute,” Ferrara said. One resident, Melissa Ferrara, mentioned that she chose to send her kids to McClancy Memorial High School in Elmhurst because the Q47 provides a simple commute with no transfers. However, some residents who live in the district - which covers Ridgewood, Glendale, Middle Village and Maspeth - argued that some of the adjustments will completely upend their commute. The new bus route is focused on reliable service and faster travel, according to the MTA representatives presenting the plan during Wednesday night’s virtual workshop. This could save 20 seconds of travel per stop, according to officials.
