Review the Q14 route summary

The proposed Q14 would be a new route serving the northern segment of the existing Q23 in Corona/East Elm- hurst and the northern segment of the existing Q38 along Eliot Av, providing new connections between East Elmhurst and Maspeth. Service along 108 St would still be provided by the proposed Q23 and Q50. Service along the southern portion of the existing Q38 loop would still be provided by the proposed Q38. 

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q14 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability. 

Proposed frequencies would be balanced between the existing Q23 and Q38. Service would operate during the same hours as the existing Q23.
