It is more like a mini expressway unto itself, than a mere
exit. It made itself essentially the starting point of Main Street
and boasts three overpasses of its own. Kind of like a Main Street
Expressway for a few blocks. To get to Union Tpke, motorists
have several blocks to go yet, inlcuding passage over the Grand
Central Pkwy. A Queens Public Library branch, identified by the
lavender blue strip on the white building to the left, faces
Manton Sttreet, which crosses over the ramp a block north of
Queens Blvd, where this shot was taken. Both shot 11/6/1999. |
