If you ride the R train from or to Brooklyn, you need to know about these service suspensions due to switch replacement work that will last through June.
"We really rely on the R train here in Bay Ridge and when it is down, we are down," she told Fox 5 News. "I have to race to make sure that I can get from the Upper East Side to the N train at 59th to transfer to a shuttle by midnight."
NYC Transit's Judy McClain, the head of operations planning, formally announced the closures at a committee meeting on Monday, the very same day they first went into effect. The news sparked concerns from some board members who claimed they weren't given a heads-up about any maintenance in the first place.officials, though, argued that notice of the shutdown was posted on signs as early as March 2.
State Sen. Andrew Gounardes said he wants to see more money invested in the system but not at the expense of riders.During the shutdown, free shuttle buses will run between 59th Street and 95th Street. "I'm glad I was able to help the MTA see the need for more free interim shuttle service than they'd planned, and I hope they will continue to work with us on a contingency plan for future projects," Council Member Justin Brannan told Fox 5 News in a statement. "It can't be that our whole system breaks down every time the R line gets work done. We owe so much more to our neighbors and essential workers.
The Riders Alliance's Danny Pearlstein, the policy and communications director, said he hopes the plan works out but remains skeptical.On affected weekends, shuttle buses will run every two minutes during the day, every four minutes during early evenings, and every 10 to 20 minutes during late nights.
