"Gallagher stated that the MTA informed her of diminished service on the G train every weekend in June, two weekends in August, one in May, and one in September, calling these shutdowns unacceptable."
"Restler's office revealed that the MTA plans to shut down the G train over 10 weekends and two dozen weeknights for the remainder of the year, highlighting the devastating impacts on the community."
"Gallagher emphasized that these service changes punish Greenpoint residents, as the G is the neighborhood's only train line, and expressed frustration over the lack of communication from the MTA."
The G train will experience significant service disruptions, including every weekend in June and additional weekends in August, May, and September. Local lawmakers, including Assembly Member Emily Gallagher and City Council Member Lincoln Restler, expressed concerns about the negative effects on the community, particularly for small businesses and residents reliant on the G line. Gallagher criticized the MTA for inadequate communication regarding these changes, which she believes disproportionately affect Greenpoint residents, as the G is their only train line connecting Brooklyn and Queens without going through Manhattan.
