Gentile starts petition drive to bring back B37 bus
Brooklyn residents lost the B37 bus three years ago, when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority eliminated the Bay Ridge to downtown Brooklyn bus line.
At the time, Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights) vowed to fight to get the MTA to restore the B37. Gentile said he is continuing his fight.
In his latest effort, Gentile is teaming up with a coalition of local community organizations, his colleague, Councilwoman Sara Gonzalez 9D-Sunset Park-Red Hook) and Transport Workers Union Local 100 to organize a petition drive to bring the bus line back.
The petition also calls for the restoration of station booths along the N/R and the installation of elevators in the subways.
