Rapid transit will stimulate property development that can have a negative impact on a neighborhood. Example, property development in the Brighton Sheepshead Bay area over the past twenty years has seen one, and two family houses give way to multi story apartment/condominiums.A giant multi story building adjacent to the Sheepshead Bay station is nearing completion and will add a significant passenger load to Brighton line trains that presently carry a heavy load on a two track line north of Parkside Avenue into DeKalb to reach Manhattan. I have seen how Hillside Avenue transformed from how it appeared in the early 1960's, to how Hillside appears today. The relatively tranquil suburban feel is long gone. |
