Home Service Advisories Weekend protests and weekend service changes

Weekend protests and weekend service changes

by Benjamin Kabak

It’s always fun when the weekends roll around. In one corner, we have a protest.

Concerned citizens are gathering this Sunday to protest the MTA Police’s recent harassment of woman taking pictures at the Atlantic Yards. (I wrote about that one earlier this week.) Those interested should meet at 3 p.m. Brooklyn Bears Community Garden at the intersection of Pacific St. and Flatbush Ave.

And in the other corner, we have weekend service advisories. Take a look.
