Guest lance25 Posted January 12, 2011 Share #23 Posted January 12, 2011 We've had this thread before, how about merging it? http://nyctransitforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3771 Because that thread is nearly a year old. Let it rest. For R32s' disruption: - split service; Ditmars Blvd to Queensboro Plaza, Atlantic-Pacific to Stillwell Av - via 6th Ave to either 21 St-Queensbridge or 145 St - via 6th Ave/Manhattan Bridge and either 53rd/63rd St tunnel.
