Brought to our attention by Mark Finkel:
The MTA is considering closing all weekend service for the W. Hempstead LIRR branch. Many people along the branch do not have cars, and rely on train service for all their travel. I understand the economy is slowing down. Though, are we going to force some people to work all week, and then stay home all weekend?
Please attend the hearing held by the MTA and speak out to save this branch. It is worthwhile for people in other areas to go, to make sure that the MTA keeps its commitment to serving the transportation needs of all communities. The communities most directly affected by this decision would be: West Hempstead, Malverne, Lakeview and Westwood.
