L train-dependent Brooklyn residents, business owners and officials met in Williamsburg Wednesday night to grapple with the paucity of L train service alternatives. Some voiced creative possible solutions to L outages during upcoming long term suspension of L service between Brooklyn and Manhattan. The most ambitious proposal of them all?
