I wouldn't be surprised if skip-stop was canned due to the ridership drop.

Exactly. This is an easy way for them to reduce service without hurting too many people.

service is suspended in both directions. 

 Subway trains that operate between 207 St and Lefferts Blvd will make local stops in Manhattan and Brooklyn to provide alternate service. Listen to train announcements for more info.

Also, consider using   trains for alternate service between 50 St and Spring St.

This one got its own thread, because it was arson. Central Park North-110 Street  is a crime scene as it was arson on a 2 train, killing the train operator. 86 and 96 St  are closed because the suspect also set fires at that station. Even after what's left of that train is moved (as of this post, it has not been moved, as it's a crime scene), there is major structural damage to the station itself. It could be a few weeks before service is restored to the Lenox Avenue Line.
