Posted by MATHA531 on Thu Oct 19 07:28:16 2006, in response to Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn College extention, posted by NEPONSIT2006 on Wed Oct 18 16:18:32 2006. This, of course, is not new.....the original plans for a long time were sections down Nostrand and sections down Utica and a bond issue was passed in the early 50's promising this.....we're all still waiting.As always, they just don't give a you know what about Brooklyn and Queens...large sections of both boroughs have no subway service and not the slightest chance of ever getting it...unlike a city like Paris where the talk is there is a metro station within 100 yards or so of every single location....NYC supposedly the best subway system in the world covers Manhattan and the Bronx fairly well but as far as Brooklyn and Queens are concerned, well Marie Antoinette was quoted once as saying, "Let them eat cake." In NY for the outer boroughts, it's the same...so what if they have to take a bus to the subway...it's Brooklyn and Queens...but let's make sure we build additional subway service in Manhattan...after all in this city only Manhattan counts. While a bit of a stretch, to show who counts in this city, does anybody think if a similar outrage that occurred on the power grid in Queens in July had occurred in Manhattan, it wouldn't have been fixed within 24 hours. We will never see any additional subway service in Brooklyn and Queens because, as Marie Antoinette said, "Let them take buses to the train." But then again I thought this was one big happy city. |
