NEW YORK — Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled plans Tuesday to fulfill a long-held dream for New York City travelers: a rail link to LaGuardia Airport, one of the busiest airports in the nation.
The plan calls for an elevated AirTrain that would connect the airport, located in relative isolation in Queens along the Flushing Bay waterfront, with a busy transit hub 1.5 miles away. Cuomo said the train would link the airport to the Willets Point station, which sits opposite the Mets' ballpark and serves the Long Island Rail Road commuter rail and the No. 7 subway line.
