LRT always reign supreme over BRT.

LRT always reign supreme over BRT.

Of all the benefits Alan mentioned, there's one benefit that needs emphasizing. And it's psychological.

When people usually see freshly installed tracks in the ground with overhead wiring, they know that there's going to be a train that'll get them from A to B in a fixed, timely fashion. With buses, routes can change on a whim by simply relocating a few stops, and that creates uncertainty, delays, and frustration.

So naturally, properties that are closer to LRT will go up in value.

The sound of the D train departing 34th Street - Herald Sq, running over crossover tracks heading to The Bronx.

Can we please make this permanent???? 🙏

Pardon the glare from the sun. It's a beautiful day today, seeing a major thoroughfare being restricted to only marathon runners, joggers, strollers, and just casual walkers. 😊

VICKY!!!!!! 😭

Vicky, I hope all is well with you and your family. If you're seeing this post, please come back. Everyone misses you!!!! If you did in fact moved on to better things, then it's totally understandable. It's just, Bushwick won't be the same without Bites & Sips.

I miss the fruit teas, Mochi Donuts, and small talk. 😔

Is Bites and Sips still open for business?

That store has been closed for a while. I always used to stop by for an orange-lemon honey ice tea with mango-popping boba and a cookies & cream mochi donut.

Maybe Vicky, the owner, needed a nice long vacation from the madness. If so, then I don't blame her.

A V Train at Sutphin Blvd (F)

While I was on the F train heading to Jamaica-179th, I noticed a V-Train sitting idle on the express tracks at Sutphin. I quickly went out in between the cars to record it as the F was about to leave the station.

Quite a rare sighting.

Possibly the future ADA entrance for Forest Av Station (M)

Since I'm already in the area where I saw the buried tracks, I figured we can discussed how Forest Av station would become ADA compliant, now that it's included in the 2025-2029 Capital Plan.

The pics shown could be where a brand new accessible entrance would be built (in the same fashion as New Lots (3)).
