News A Streetcar Named DUMBO
Posted by Benjamin Sutton on Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 10:39 AM
According to a piece published yesterday in the Brooklyn Eagle, the city's Department of Transportation has just begun a feasibility report for a plan to create a streetcar system in Brooklyn's waterfront neighborhoods. As a cyclist who regularly almost crashes when riding over the old trolley tracks in Dumbo (one of the neighborhoods where the hypothetical streetcars would go), I can confirm that the infrastructure is pretty much already there.
Red Hook is reportedly also being evaluated for possible streetcar service, and the plan is geared towards these and similar waterfront Brooklyn nabes where subway and bus service is lacking. What other BK 'hoods could use trolley service?
