Development dooms Maple Lanes, popular old-style bowling alley
Bowlers will have one less place to try for strikes. Maple Lanes, the famed bowling alley on 60th Street in Borough Park, where generations of Brooklyn residents have gone to play, will be closing in 2014, the New York Post reported.
The bowling alley, at 1570 60th St., is still a popular spot for youth leagues and church groups.
Community Board 12 was set last night to consider a zoning variance request from a developer that would allow the owners to tear Maple lanes down and build a complex containing 182 condos. A synagogue would also be built at the location, the Post reported.
