The Jamaica Ave business district was in trouble even before the el closed, but taking it's vital link bringing people to the area made it plunge even faster. Gone was all that foot traffic. They didn't consider all the foot traffic taken away when the el went....right down from the people that came specifically to Jamaica, but also people going to work walking to their train station....stopping for their coffee and donut, buying supplies for work, or on the way back, buying those cigarettes, buying a drink, buying a pair of shoes as they walked passed a shoe store, and so forth. Doesn't sound like much, but add that up by thousands. |
