The n36 runs from Lynbrook, to East Rockaway, Oceanside, Baldwin and Freeport. It is the ONLY bus route in East Rockaway and connects our community to oth...er bus transfers. We have a lot of residents that use this route for work, school, doctor's appointments, and even leisure. With a lot of communities focusing on downtown revitalization, restaurant districts, and ways to a good urban planning concept, we need to have reliable access to all modes of public transportation, and this includes buses. In East Rockaway, we also have residents of neighboring communities who rely on the n36 to get to their places of employment in East Rockaway, including our own library! This helps our local economy tremendously! We cannot afford these cuts, especially the n36 as there is no public bus alternate. We must stand together on the n36 route along with the others that were cut and demand that these routes be funded. Our communities growth and sustainability depend on it.
