Tonight Brooklyn residents will have a chance to address the MTA in person about the proposed service cuts. The hearing will take place at 6 p.m. in the Cantor Auditorium at the Brooklyn Museum.
The museum is located at 200 Eastern Parkway. You can find it on a map here.
For my constituents, they want to discontinue the M train between Essex Street and Bay Parkway, as well as cut the x29 express bus and, on weekends, the x28. They also want to cut local buses, including overnight service on the B64. This is on top of general service reductions like running subways less often, ending free MetroCards for students and making changes to Access-a-Ride, so that some elderly people will be dropped off at subway stations and bus stops, instead of at their homes.
Make sure to come to the hearing tonight to let the MTA that these proposals are not acceptable.
