Last night our board met with MTA planners regarding the IBX. They presented slides which provide unrealistic scenarios regarding how we get around, and touted benefits like having access to more pre-K. We aren't sure who is taking their kid on the subway to a pre-K in Brooklyn, but this is what they think we will find exciting. ... See MoreSee Less

For easier transfer connections to and from other modes of transit at certain IBX stations the MTA could add in movable walkways like they now have at the airports.

Even if it’s not as good as they still it’s still better than it is right now. Taking the bus between boros sucks

What a joke 😡

Can speak as loud and clear as we like, but they will jam it down our throats like every other brilliant change these transplants force upon our city.

The walk from the Roosevelt Ave stop to the IBX is not a 5 minute walk, someone already clocked it.

It’s nonsense run by activists. There is nothing activists love more than to out meaningless data points and use them in a misleading way. Almost no one travels in this direction. In reality it’s just a short cut to Manhattan for most, but it will bring unwanted development and strain in infrastructure not to mention connection a few nice areas at both ends to high crime areas in the middle. Two things will happen. Development will come which will increase prices which means increased rent and property taxes. It will also bring gentrification to those places as gentrification exists along rail corridors.

The IBX is useless if it doesnt go to Manhattan, which it could via the LIRR tracks that it cross over

Want till its in effect and people from Brooklyn discover juniper patk juniper park is already getting messed up it will be worse

And what about those of us without kids or grandkids? People have kids great, enjoy, be happy and healthy but its NOT MY PROBLEM! We need this train here like we need another homeless men's shelter or cannabis store. NYC is done

The MTA and DOT are out of touch with reality

Typical delusional bureaucrats who have drivers and don’t mingle with the common folk.

Ridiculous, plus preKs are over run with their own community children. This whole thing is about the city of yes and the city’s desire to drive us out of our neighborhood.
