The track work in Brooklyn on the #2, #3 and #4 lines were to take place every weekend until June 2014. This should be the last weekend.

Used the bus lanes this week. Even on the M101, with frequent stops, parking maneuvers, and an armored truck in the way, the improvement was noticeable. Can’t wait for them to be extended!
