When it comes to transportation woes, we can all agree that Brooklyn has been going through it. Since the announcement of the L train shutdown, to the announcement of the shutdown’s cancelation, residents throughout NYC have been anxiously waiting for some clarity on the situation and alternative solutions.
While there was relief overall when the shutdown’s cancelation was announced, some local representatives still urged the Department of Transit (DOT) to follow through with the mitigation plans drafted in order to deal with the impending “L-pocalypse.”
“DOT should STILL move forward with the expansion of bus & bike lanes and Citi Bike into Bushwick. It will ease congestion and a packed L train, making North Brooklyn more livable,” wrote NYC Councilman Rafael Espinal in a tweet following the cancelation of the shutdown.
