Myrtle between Bridge and Jay st is indeed right down the middle of the Metrotech complex actually. However that's the pedestrian walking area with the buildings on both sides of it so theoretically it would not have affected the placement of the building within the Metrotech campus. |

Posted by Joe V on Sun Oct 21 12:03:54 2018, in response to Re: Franklin Avenue Shuttle, posted by FtgreeneG on Sun Oct 21 05:44:44 2018. I went there yesterday, first time in 49 years. (Also had a nice meal at Apollo coffee shop, great and well patronized B&N bookstore, line getting into Transit Museum).I don't see anyway the building owners would want the el restored along the Bridge-Jay promenade. Just north of there is another matter. Shame there is no historical markers. Few if any people there today have any clue as to what was once there. There has go to be a good market for Bushwick/Ridgewood residents headed to Metrotech and other downtown Brooklyn venues, such as county government and numerous colleges. But they are obviously not taking the B54. |
