Home Service Advisories Weekend work affecting 11 subway lines

Weekend work affecting 11 subway lines

by Benjamin Kabak

I have a few posts lined up for next week already. We’ll talk about Mayor De Blasio’s approach to the green boro taxi program. (Hint: I don’t approve.) We’ll talk about MSG’s tax breaks. (Hint: City Council’s desire to roll them back could be a baby step toward a new Penn Station.) And we’ll talk about 2nd Ave. Subway milestones. (Hint: We’re approximately 960 days away from this thing becoming an actual reality.)

If you’re running the Brooklyn Half tomorrow morning, as I am, good luck, and be ware the service changes on the 2, 3 and 4 lines.
