LIRR station work within 1/2 mile of the Flatbush Ave LIRR Terminal. Wall St is only slightly better. 3.2% of the people live within 1/2 mile of the Woodhaven Jct. LIRR station work within 1/2 mile of Broad and Wall Streets. I'm not denying that Downtown Brooklyn has changed. It might be wise to first discover where Downtown Brooklyn workers live before building duplicate transportation from where they don't. |
