This is going to be hard to process, so hold on to your seats. According to the Brooklyn Eagle, Borough President (and new homeowner) Marty Markowitz has weighed in on the MTA's proposed service cuts, which are necessary to close a $400 million budget gap:
“In Brooklyn, the elimination of the Z subway service [forcing the J line to run local], the closing of the Lawrence Street station overnight along the R line, changes to the G and M lines in Brooklyn and Queens, drastic reductions in regular bus service ... and reductions in Access-a-Ride will add up to a disproportionate burden from Brooklynites.”
I know, take a moment to process that. So shocking to hear Marty stand up for our borough!
