Harry Posted September 3, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2009 First came the poster, its facade scratched and worn, with a proclamation for passing riders: “We are rehabilitating the Newkirk Avenue Station.” Even the language, with its Orwellian overtones, seemed ominous. Then the chain-link fence appeared, bisecting the handsome red sidewalk of Newkirk Plaza, the eclectic, century-old shopping district that sits atop the station and functions as Ditmas Park’s downtown. This summer, trailers and trash bins cropped up, almost overnight. Suddenly, Manhattan-bound trains were not running on the weekend. Cranes, jackhammers, and insectlike machines arrived, tearing up walkways and sending dust billowing into unsuspecting storefronts. What did not make an appearance: a rendering of the place as it would look when it’s all over, something that might make the winter of 2011 — the projected completion date, as of now — seem slightly closer.

R44 5278 Posted September 3, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 3, 2009 As related with the industrial issue at LIC, live with it or get out! After all, the reconstruction is there to save lives from future accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted September 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 8, 2009 There is absolutely nothing Orwellian about a poster that tells people a station is being rehabbed. What is it with people today and thinking our government is some kind of dictatorship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62A 1991 Posted September 8, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 8, 2009 Again, I say that Newkirk Av needs this rehabilitation. Sorry, mall shops, but the greater good of Brighton's stations is more important at this time. People have to realize that things will eventually get better. 2nd Avenue has to realize this, and now so do these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
