Do you see any retired MTA buses and subway trains in these old photos from Broadway Junction, Brooklyn? The buses and trains are newer now, but the infrastructure remains essentially unchanged (except for a new bus command center nearby which apparently has had a lot of structural defects). There is so much potential for this hub, where many elevated and underground lines meet and even cross over and under the LIRR, a freight line (the Bay Ridge Branch), and many busy streets (which are at some locations tunneled under and bridged over train lines too). It's a dream world for transit infrastructure enthusiasts, but it is also ironically, because of all the mobility infrastructure, an immobile area with many physical divides keeping it from becoming a destination itself. However, there are many ideas and plans for the area, and check out NYC Planning's Sustainable Communities: East New York report for some ideas... or join us on an upcoming subway tour! #broadwayjunction #Brooklyn #eastnewyork #nyc #infrastructure #urbanplanning #cities #urbandesign #urbandevelopment #publictransport #publicspace #mobility #equity #nycplanning #nyctransit #realestate #subway #trains #metro #bus #publictransportation #urbanexploring #urbanexploration #urbanexplorer #concretejungle #hub #subwaystation #trainstation #trains #trainspotting #railroad https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlMtT1Lmnz/?utm_medium=tumblr
