You just got a mega-renovaed subway station built and opened yesterday.If you want to whine, whine about Queens, whose population has boomed over the last 40 years, far outstripping Brooklyn's population growth, and yet has had the least subway investment of any borough except Staten Island. Most of Brooklyn, by contrast, is served by subway lines and there are many areas of Brooklyn with as much subway service as Manhattan does. Brooklyn has renovated centers like a new terminal at Stillwell, a new LIRR station at Atlantic Avenue, and first crack at the R143 subway cars. Manhattan is getting new subway extensions because that's where most commuters, including Brooklyn commuters, are going. The SAS will ultimately reduce crowding on the Lex for everybody, including Brooklyn commuters and the 7 extension will offer access to Javits, including for commuters coming from Brooklyn who transfer at Grand Central or Times Square. Actually the Q train's extension, which will be ready in 2013, offers Q train riders (Brooklyn riders) a one stop ride to the East Side 60s and ultimately to Harlem-125 St. I think extending subways in Brooklyn is a great idea, but it's laughable to whine about Brooklyn when you look at just how much territory in Queens has zero subway service. Stop bawling. You wanna tissue? |
