Riders around here LIKED those extra five G-train stops. They connected Park Slope, Kensington and Windsor Terrace to each other to Clinton Hill and Williamsburg. I for one found it very useful.

The MTA said no, it’s got to go. But the riders and pols spoke back.

Well, the people WON. The MTA has agreed to keep those five extra stops. And it’s a big win for straphangers.

NYC Public Advocate and mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio had this to say:

“It’s hard to remember the last time we had good news about transit in Brooklyn. Our message to the MTA was simple: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It looks like we’ve been heard. Keeping these extra five stops is a huge win for commuters and businesses in the Slope, Windsor Terrace and Kensington.”
