Honestly, burying the entire N line from queensboro is the best bet, but that would require a competent, not corrupt MTA and God knows that isn't in the cards for us.

Best practical option, but not the preferred option, would be an airtrain-style operation from the LIRR station at Woodside or somewhere else to LGA using elevated tracks that wouldn't pass directly through a neighborhood but instead would follow highways. It would be far better than nothing or a bus. I think something needs to be done at LGA along those lines, is is a bit embarrassing for NY that it's closest airport to the central CBD has no rail connection and is surrounded by traffic clogged roads..
