"These shutdowns have disastrous impacts on our community. Small businesses lose customers in their busiest months. These shutdowns impact social connections, weekend work shifts, and our wallets. They punish people for choosing to live in Greenpoint."
"The infamous G train summer shutdowns - a bane for riders since 2024 - are designed to update the line's signals to a 'state-of-the-art' system that is projected to cost $368 million."
The G train line, crucial for Brooklyn and Queens residents, faces multiple service shutdowns during weekends in June, August, and May due to ongoing signal modernization. Assemblymember Emily Gallagher expressed frustration over the disruptions, stating they harm local businesses and community connections. Future shutdowns are also scheduled for December and September. The MTA indicated that these disruptions are still potential, with updates to be provided on their website. The modernization project aims to replace outdated signals at a cost of $368 million.
