Trump Culture War Tantrum Turns to Gateway Tunnel and Second Ave. Subway - Streetsblog New York City The Trump administration is withholding $18 billion from the Gateway Tunnel and Second Avenue Subway projects over "unconstitutional DEI policies."

Ideally you would want the R to remain as is to Bay Ridge but then it won’t have a yard if QBL is fully deinterlined and the R sent to astoria

Brighton riders prefer broadway. The R would stay local on fourth ave and via west end. The B would go to bay ridge and the D via sea beach

The MTA has put out an RFP on how to fix dekalb which would most likely involve deinterlining

I like your idea but the better way to do it is to have the E and a new K service via 53rd and the QBL express to 179 and JC. The F and M will run via 63rd to Forest Hills local. For this, 36th st would need to become an express station.

Is this sign a mistake though? How can a broadway service serve 7th avenue?

Yes, it was removed when they shifted traffic for the bridge work. When the bridge work was completed they never put it back

Only YOU can prevent Storrowings by keeping your mind on the road and watching for the MANY warning signs. No moving trucks on Storrow Drive, Memorial Drive and Soldiers Field Road.

First ride on the new Main St PBL. It was nice. Will be more useful for me when the City tackles Mass Ave through Central Square though.

I was informed that this was happening, and I literally sprinted out of the house (I live near 72 St on the Q).

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you.
