Alot of the decline in ridership was when the Brooklyn Navy Yard closed as a government installation in 1966 and deterioration of downtown Brooklyn. But in general, the thing was falling apart, the non-standard cars were ancient, it was an oddity that required constant special attention and the TA money was not going to be invested into it when things were in a downward spiral. Gentrification in Clinton Hill / Ft. Greene didn't really start until the 80's when new people started reinvesting in the neighborhood. The gentrification still hasn't happened between Classon and Broadway, except for the Satmars moving south from W'burg along Bedford Ave. |
