Last week the MTA responded to our request for information about construction at the Newkirk Avenue B,Q station by sending out a form e-mail with a bunch of vague promises. This week the MTA has slapped up a sign (that looks like it could use some rehabilitation itself) on the chain link fence around the station, providing a few more details about the project.
According to the sign, "the work includes repairing stairways, platform columns, platform edges, and the station booth. We are also replacing the concrete deck of a pedestrian plaza and upgrading the lighting and public address systems." The sign indicates the project will be completed in Winter 2011 and will cost approximately $30 million.
And thanks to the MTA's recent decision to extend weekend wait times between trains from 8 to 10 minutes, that means we get an extra 2 minutes to listen to the orchestra of electric saws, drills, and jackhammers.
