Incase you haven’t heard, Michael Bloomberg expressed an interest in trolleys at a campaign event last week, where he unveiled new transportation proposals. The already-laid tracks in Red Hook could be where the proposed trolleys get their start. What do you think about the possibility of trolleys in Red Hook?
NY1: “We’ll look into the feasibility of using the city’s old trolley tracks to create new streetcar service in growing waterfront neighborhoods in Queens and Brooklyn, starting in Red Hook,” said Bloomberg.
Red Hook is a prime candidate because development along the waterfront is growing, and because the area is underserved by mass transit. What’s more, Diamond says, is the fact that trolleys can hold about two busloads of passengers, and have zero emissions.
