Posted by RonInBayside on Sun Dec 23 13:56:44 2007, in response to Re: (G) cut from Queens Boulevard, posted by Osmosis Jones on Sun Dec 23 13:43:53 2007. "Extending the (G) to Church to me does not benefit that many people besides Brooklyn Tech-Park Slope/Kensington students and maybe some people who want Methodist Hospital."There's a lot more employment in Brooklyn than that. If you are referring to Polytechnic University, that place has gotten bigger and there are more people who need to go there. Plus, if you want to go crosstown toQueens on the G, and you're in Brooklyn, the extending the G is very helpful. Transferring at Court Squyare is a lot better than meandering through Manhattan. Agreed that the G doesn't run often enough. But the MTA is addressing that. "No Crosstown rider heading to a destination in Manhattan (which is a lot of them) benefits from the connection to the (R) at 4th Avenue. " Except all the ones who want to go to the financial district, the school district, city hall, South Street Seaport, the World Trade Center (which is now one office building at 7 WTC but that will change)... yeah, there's no destination in Lower Manhattan that anybody wants... |
