As Second Ave. Sagas nears its third birthday, I’m always looking for ways to expand my offerings to my readers. The site started out as a one-a-day blog back in 2006, and I’ve expanded it to feature at least three posts per day. I’ve brought on some guest columnists, and I’ve encouraged readers to interact with me via a Twitter account and a Facebook page.
Today, I’d like to introduce a new weekend feature for the site. Every Friday, when I post the Weekend Service Advisories, I’m going to include a map courtesy of Subway Weekender that shows just how the subway changes impact travel. Shawn Lynch, the founder of Subway Weekender and the man behind the map, has been kind enough to supply me with his PDF of weekend service changes, and I will include it every Friday in the post. You can find this week’s by clicking on the image below or downloading it from here.
Remember: These weekend service changes come to me from the MTA and are subject to change without notice. Check signs in your local station and listen for on-board announcements for up-to-the minute changes. Click the image below to download the weekend service map in PDF format. The service alerts follow.

very helpful, and tip of the hat to mr lynch.
Great new addition… Have a look how London does it: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/live.....et=weekend
They also have a map with all lines having problems highlighted.
Awesome map. The MTA should post these in every station every weekend rather than those stupid notices that take a lot to decipher and don’t help with finding alternatives because they don’t tell you which lines are running.
