The QueensWay project intend to transform 3.5 mile stretch of abandoned railway in Central Queens into a family-friendly and artistic linear park under the theme "Greenway".
The project is focused on 4 different sectors according to the different context that surrounds the site, hence we called it sector as: Botanic Garden, Picnic Garden, Exhibition Garden and Creative Garden, which keep an organic and natural design breaking the linearity of the railway.
The Four sectors have different vertical connections (elliptical ramps) in strategic position (intersection of streets) to link the street level with the railway level or Park level, and in order to attract citizens each node contains cafes, stores, and different public facilities (sportive and recreation facilities along the parks) according to the users needs.
