"Check out the info board that greeted us last night when all we wanted to do was hop a Brooklyn-bound A or C from Canal Street. There was no C, and that A train that was supposed to come in 12 minutes remained 12 minutes away for way more than 12 minutes. So we hopped an uptown C to West Fourth and then caught a Coney-bound F"
"Streetsblog gets action: After our Associate Editor J.K. Trotter called out Council Member Vickie Paladino for not being serious about street safety in the wake of the Malba Menace-and-Mingle, we were happy to see the Queens Republican join the fight for safe streets, saying that her constituents would support "traffic circles, speed bumps, and islands placed in the area to prevent incidents like this from happening again." So will Paladino? Let's see. (CBS2)"
An information board at Canal Street indicated imminent Brooklyn-bound A or C service, but the C was not running and the A's arrival repeatedly remained at "12 minutes." Commuters took an uptown C to West Fourth and transferred to a Coney Island-bound F that ran express, forcing a half-mile walk in heavy rain. WPIX reported electrical problems uptown affecting the A, B, C and D lines. Regular riders frequently experience such disruptions. The episode underscores the advantages of biking for reliability. Additional local items include Queens traffic-safety measures, Hoboken governance updates, a mayor-elect transition, a TA T-shirt, and sold-out commemorative street signs.
