DON'T CHANGE YOUR ROUTE YET: F AND G TRAIN CHANGES POSTPONED FOR ONE WEEK

From City Councilmember Brad Lander's office:
Our office has just been informed by the MTA that due to the snowstorm forecasted for Saturday, they will be delaying the track work scheduled for this weekend on the F and G lines.

This means that the weekend shuttle bus service between Jay Street and Church Ave which was previously scheduled for this weekend has now been postponed to the weekend of January 15 and 16.
The 5-month northbound local F/G train service suspension at the Fort Hamilton Parkway and 15th Street stops which was scheduled to begin on January 10 will now begin on January 17.

Additionally, in response to our request that the MTA explore alternative service to replace the partially-closed stations during this time, MTA officials have agreed to meet with me and other concerned elected officials next week.
We are looking forward to this meeting and will continue to urge them to consider alternatives besides having to ride the train back to the Church Ave station in order to head towards Manhattan.
We will continue to keep you updated as more progress is made on this issue.
