E For Erica Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share #26 Posted November 24, 2013 I can't see it happening unless the B26 ends up becoming a northern variant of the B25 and the B7 is extended to Ridgewood Terminal. That makes sense. But yeah you're right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43LTD Posted November 24, 2013 Share #27 Posted November 24, 2013 Dude, the B18 was cut entirely in 2010. LMFAO It was 2002 the B18 was discontinued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 25, 2013 Share #28 Posted November 25, 2013 I'm assuming you have the word extend in quotes for a reason.... Considering that fact, I don't see what you're saying here.... Which old B18 was this that went to East NY? I used the quotes to emphasize that what I was suggesting would be a true "extension". What others were speculating on were reroutes that did not take the line any further, thus did not fit as true "extensions". The B18 used to go down Cypress to Jamaica Ave. @ Crescent, which is East NY. (See vista'slink). Well, if anything, they are planning new routes in Ridgewood, including a new B18 (@EricB, @B35 via Church). http://bit.ly/1fAReCh That's the old plan to eliminate it (dated 2001), not any new plan.

Turbo19 Posted November 25, 2013 Share #29 Posted November 25, 2013 It was 2002 the B18 was discontinued If I recall correctly the route still existed in some form at that time, but I'll have to look at the old timetables for confirmation.

The last B18 timetable was released in Fall 2001. http://web.mta.info/nyct/bus/schedule/bkln/b018cur.pdf It was cut and replaced by a B13 extension.

But that's why I said "thanks" at the end of that post, as Cypress hills is a subsection of ENY..... Same could be said for Highland Park, New Lots and City Line? You could say the area e/o Pennsylvania Ave from Jamaica Ave bordering on the north and Linden Blvd on the south out to maybe Crescent/S. Conduit Av could be considered ENY. But where to fit the B26 "Extension"? Q24 serves Atlantic. serves Pitkin. B12 Liberty was cut back to Alabama apparently because of duplication. B14 serves Pitkin-Sutter. B15 serves New Lots. serves Livonia. Ain't no room for the B26, and to move it from FP to ENY would be a logistical nightmare - not that it's stopped MTA from making Warp 5 jumps in the past. E for Erica, i think the B/O on the Q24 was handing you a fake transfer An aside for trivia buffs: B18 used to run to and from Hanson Pl on Carlton Ave & Adelphi St. waaay before it was moved to (and cut from) the Cypress Hills/Bushwick/Williamsburg run.

And as much as I would like seeing XD40s and 5000s on that route, it WOULD hurt it to extend and move it to ENY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted December 1, 2013 Share #41 Posted December 1, 2013 Spring Creek is part of ENY? Where have I been... Yeah man...... Areas like East New York, Bensonhurst, Sunset Park, and Flatbush are (well, were) huge as hell - until several smaller boundaries were established.... What is Spring Creek now, was nothing bus marshland way back when... The part of ENY you didn't go to, because nothing much was there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainmaster5 Posted December 3, 2013 Share #43 Posted December 3, 2013 When the housing development called Starrett City was opened it's zip code was 11207 (ENY Station) and it's post office was located at Atlantic and Pennsylvania Avenues. After the residents and politicians raised cain about it the postal functions were transferred to Canarsie station on Flatlands Avenue and a mini-post office was opened on Pennsylvania Avenue on the grounds of the development. Spring Creek is a part of the huge East New York area. Check out the boundaries of the East New York 75th precinct if you really want to see what the neighborhood encompasses.

Eric B Posted December 3, 2013 Share #44 Posted December 3, 2013 The whole main grid is from E98 (the eastern boundary of that little piece of the Canarsie grid between ENY Ave. and Ditmas), all the way to the Queens border (And the same grid actually continues as much of SE Queens until Springfield Blvd) Though the western part of this is Brownsville. I always used to lump Brownsville as part of ENY as well, as the boundary is not really clear. Might be the and LIRR tracks. There's also the transitional grid (between Canarsie and ENY/Howard Beach) running from Louisiana to Fountain, with New Lots as the northern border. This is the grid that contains Starrett City and Spring Creek. That obviously is apart of ENY, though the Spring Creek area has taken on a bit of a separate identity.

SubBus Posted December 8, 2013 Share #49 Posted December 8, 2013 That post office on Atlantic and Pennsylvania sucks!!! Waited an hour for my mother package. Only one clerk and the supervisor was getting the packages. When I left, there were still about 20 people there waiting for packages... Anyway, ENY runs from the at Van Sinderen Ave to the Queens border. Zip Code 11207, 11208, 11239..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
