The Queens Valley Association opposed the Q65A proposal, due to it only serving the northern portion of Kew Gardens Hills.
[5] The change was met with resentment from the local community due to concerns that buses would hit kids outside the newly opened Public School 200 at 164th Street and 71st Avenue.
