    An extra HEET and an extra exit-only turnstile is being installed at Nassau Ave. I’m guessing to facilitate its use as a terminal for most remaining weekends this summer.

    I wonder if they’ll ever install a Metrocard machine at that entrance.

    Well at least on the Nassau side (where this work is happening) you can pop over to the other side of the “mezzanine” via the small set of stairs to purchase your card.

    The Church Ave-bound Norman Ave entrance doesn’t have a machine at all. You have to exit back to street level, cross over to the Queens-bound side, head down there, get your card, head back to street level, cross over, descend again…

    Or, if you follow the instructional sign: Climb back to street level, walk all the way to the Nassau end, and the see the agent on the Queens-bound side of the “mezzanine”. Then cross over using the small staircase… Fun times.

    Oh, I though the downtown Norman entrance was the one you were talking about. They just installed a second HEET there.

    The service changes on the J and Q lines have been cancelled for this weekend.

    The A and D changes must have been cancelled as well…I had to dash off an uptown A at 59th as they announced “next stop 125th”

    Shooting for most obnoxious comment about Ben’s first vacation/break in six+ years of doing the site? Because I think you won. It’s July 4th and a short wee plus he’s out of the country. Unplug and relax.
