"Take a look at a subway map...how is the area south of the junction along that corridor and to the east through East Flatbush and Canarsie and into the Starett City area well served by rapid transit...when I was a kid I lived on Church Avenue and Schenectady and had to pay for 2 fares...when I was a teen ager and lived in Canarsie and had to pay 2 fares on the damn B6 bus to get to the junction or to Rockaway Parkway"You'd be far worse off in Queens. ".....there has been no attempt, despite the fact they are populous areas, to remedy that situation since that 1950's bond issue which promised extensions along Nostrand Avenue and Utica Avenue." And there should be no attempt now, before Brooklyn's subway lines have been overhauled and brought to a state of good repair. The MTA has made a lot of progress there but there's still more work to be done. The Manhattan subway expansions are projects that serve everyone who rides the subway, including Brooklyn residents, many of whom have been asking for a SAS so the Lex trains aren't so crowded. Stop whining. If you want more lines in Brooklyn, write to your elected officials, put a coalitio together and see if you can get the political support needed for a project to be identified and entered into the Capital Plan. |
