MTA agrees to add stops to B44 SBS line following protests, petitions
It looks like grassroots Brooklyn activism got a win today, and in impressive time.
After over two months of filing complaints, attending rallies and signing petitions, Midwood and Bedford-Stuyvesant residents received the news on Friday, February 7 that three bus stops along the B44 Select Bus Service (SBS) route will be returned to them, come Spring, 2014.
The three stops in question are at Avenue L and Nostrand Avenue, Gates and Nostrand Avenues, and Gates and Bedford Avenue–all of them located either along busy commercial strips or near schools and health care centers, and all of them at bus transfer points.
