"The proposed stop for the IBX (formally called the Interborough Express) in Flatbush would link to the 2 and 5 trains at Flatbush Ave-Nostrand Ave., a major transit center flanked by Brooklyn College, a retail corridor that attracts shoppers from around the borough, and housing that ranges from multi-story apartment buildings to eye-catching Victorian houses that sit on tree-lined streets."
"The total estimated cost of the IBX project is $5.5 billion, with about half of the total funding for the project secured in the MTA's 2025-2029 capital plan. While the IBX is still in its early phases, the MTA celebrated two milestones for the project this year, including its entry into the design phase on July 30, followed by the start of environmental reviews on Oct. 15."
"The IBX project will finally give Brooklyn and Queens the fast, reliable transit connection they deserve, and we're ready to complete it faster, better and cheaper, said Jamie Torres-Springer, MTA's construction and development president. We look forward to putting shovels in the ground on this transformational project and sharing our ideas with customers. Gems of Flatbush The IBX promises a commute through Brooklyn and Queens that will take around 33 minutes, the MTA maintains."
The Interborough Express (IBX) project proposes a Flatbush Ave.-Nostrand Ave. stop that would connect to the 2 and 5 trains and sit near Brooklyn College, retail corridors, and diverse housing. The MTA has not finalized locations for the 19 planned stops but identifies Flatbush Ave.-Nostrand Ave. as a likely Flatbush stop. The project carries an estimated $5.5 billion price tag with roughly half of funding included in the MTA's 2025-2029 capital plan. The IBX entered design on July 30 and began environmental reviews on Oct. 15, targeting a roughly 33-minute Brooklyn-Queens transit link.
