south of Hillside Ave. to Jamaica Ave. en route to and from the bus garage. "This will eliminate some of the frustration riders have at being passed by a 'not in service' bus," Leffler said. "At the same time, there will be no increase in the amount of buses passing by the one and two-family homes that line Springfield Blvd.

Between Hillside and Jamaica Aves." By JACK LEAHY I Bus route changes designed to improve service in eastern Queens were announced yesterday by City councilman Sheldon S. Leffler (D-Hollis). Tie changes will become effective early in March on the Q44A and Q88 lines, Leffler said. In response to many years of community demands, Leffler said, the Q44A will have a new "turnaround" using Lakeville Road and Hewlett St. on the Queens side of New Hyde Park.

Changed Q44A run 7er Q44A will cease operating along 270th St. between Union Turnpike and 77th Ave. and along 77th Ave. between '270th St. and Hewlett Leffler explained.

The changes on the Q88 line will "make service more convenient to residents in the area along Springfield Blvd. from Union turnpike south to Jamaica the councilman said. Presently, the Q88 leaves the Queens Village bus "(Rely on 'Reliance jM By WILLIAM BUTLER State Sen. Frank Padavan (R.O-Jamaica Estates) yesterday urged Mayor Koch to re-reverse himself and stop action on the proposed extension of 39th Ave. in Douglaston so that Community Board 11 can reexamine the plan.

Padavan also said that residents believe that "fortunate speculators" owning vacant land nearby would benefit, including one who "apparently was employed by the city's Real Estate Department when original road proposal was approved." Several hundred Douglaston residents demonstrated Sunday against the Department of Transportation's plan to proceed with the $200,000 extension of 39th Ave. from 234th St. to Douglaston Parkway. The city had won a 10-year series of legal battles with local civic groups and last month received a $158,000 bid for the work. Not safety factor Joseph Carobene, president of the Douglaston Civic Association, said that a new study had been done by the Fire Department and showed that the road "while advantageous, would show no appreciable gain in response time." Carobene said the Traffic Department's studies had reported no significant improvement would result.

Koch had promised to halt action pending a com-Iniunity board hearing when he appeared at a "town hall" meeting in the area in November. Reversed himself However, he reversed that stand within days, saying that because of the long history of litigation that he would leave the decision up to Transportation Commissioner Anthony Ameruso. Ameruso ordered the project to proceed. Padavan labeled the expenditure "foolhardy" and called on Koch to provide time for a community board hearing, order a new traffic study and provide a study of the effect of the project on drainage.
