The Drive From Hell

Jun 15, 2005

Ever drive along QB from Forest Hills to LIC? How well did your car (and nerves) hold up? With it's pot holes, dips, cuts, sinkholes, and sinking catch basins, QB provides the user with a drive to end all drives. The city, DOT, and DEP must
take drastic measures to smooth out the road bed. There are sections in Forest Hills and Elmhurst (both service and main roads) that put some 6 Flags amusement rides to shame. This is a serious matter. The city spent millions to make QB safer, but...what about the road bed? Please hold tightly onto the wheel and give yourself a safe distance between cars while driving this road from hell. Roads before stadiums, please. We urge drivers to call 311 and complain to their elected officials.
