Review the QM7 route summary

The proposed QM7 would maintain its existing routing. Along the highway, the QM7 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan. A stop would also be added on E 34 St & 1 Av in Manhattan to serve the NYU Langone, Bellevue, and VA hospitals. 

No frequency or service span changes are being proposed at this time.
