The first weekend FASTRACK impacts Coney Island service.
The latest FASTRACK treatment arrives on a weekend this time around. By shutting down service near Coney Island, the MTA can blitz the area before summer. Here are the details:

Customers may use the F or Q trains instead.
D customers may use:
- B64 bus at Stillwell Avenue and Bay 50th Street/Harway Avenue
- B82 bus at Bay Parkway
- B1 at 25th Avenue
N customers may use B1 and B4 buses:
- to Avenue X for F train service

Thanks, I have to be in Riverside Park at 7:30am on Sunday and this was my go to site.
I’m just wondering why this fastrack is split into two days? Is there a reason why they cannot do it all weekend from 5:30am saturday to 8pm sunday?
I don’t think they want to do outdoor work after dark.
