New York Magazine reports that the F train is going to completely shut down for at least seven different weekends this year between Jay Street and Church Avenue, starting with the last two weekend of this month. The scheduled service cancellations are to make improvements to the line, which we might be able to enjoy in 2012. Amongst the scheduled weekend shutdowns are February 20, February 27, May 8, May 15, May 22, November 13, and November 20. Oh, and there’s no way to avoid the shuttle buses, because the G train will not run those weekends either.
The F train will completely shut down for at least seven different weekends this year in large stretches of trendy Brooklyn, between Jay Street-Borough Hall and Church Avenue. As happened for six weekends last year, commuters will be forced to cram into slow-moving shuttles that will cross Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, and Park Slope during those time periods. Even yoga instructors are rattled! “People are going to totally freak out,” yoga guru Laura Stryjewski told the Post. “Taking the shuttle is a royal pain.”
Honestly, the shuttle buses arent really all that bad.
I got news for you the F train has always sucked .
How do you do this work without periodically shutting down and running shuttle buses? Does anyone have any suggestions?
