When the MTA screws up the subways in lower Manhattan, downtown Brooklyn suffers, too -- sometimes to the point where you just Can't Get There From Here. East Side trains run on the West Side, West Side trains run on the East side, and mysterious trains like the J appear more or less randomly on unexpected platforms.
Everyone who's been suffering with the diversion of the Lex during the overnights and weekends will appreciate this sign, posted yesterday in the Brooklyn Borough Hall station.
"New Lost Av" indeed.
