We, the undersigned, urge Chairman H. Dale Hemmerdinger to stop the
closure of the MTA Station Agent Booth at the President Street entrance
of the Carroll Street F stop in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

The Carroll Street station is located in a densely populated area
of Brooklyn, which translates to a consistently high volume of riders.
Commuters and families utilize this station throughout the day. The
station agents are necessary to the efficient operation of such heavily
used MTA subway stops.

In light of the Culver El Viaduct Project, which will close the
Smith-9th Street stop for an extended period of time, these station
agents will be vital to overseeing the increased ridership at the
Carroll Street stop. Furthermore, because of the safety concerns which
accompany any major construction projects, having a MTA Agent on site
will decrease the chances of any injuries to its ridership.
