The MTA has announced that the No. 7 train will be down between 34 St Hudson Yards and Queensboro Plaza for two weekends next month.

The cuts will take place the weekends of Nov 6-9 and Nov. 13-16.

Service for both these weekends—between Queensboro Plaza and 34 St. Hudson Yards–  will be suspended from 11:30 pm Friday and 5 am Monday.

The MTA says that the cuts are in order for it to install its Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signal system; replace elevated tracks; and for the fortification of the Steinway Tubes (which connects Queens to Manhattan).

The MTA, which is a state-run agency, claims that majority of this work has been scheduled over weekends when ridership is lower than normal.7 train

The MTA will provide free shuttle buses during this time and riders will also have the option to take the N,Q or R trains from Queensboro Plaza or the E, F or G trains from Queens Plaza.

This has become S.O.P. for many of us, and is actually beneficial for those who transfer from the #7 at Queensboro Plaza to the “N” to connect with Manhattan.
On “abnormal” weekends such as this, we also get the “Q,” which alleviates long waits for the “N.” I don’t know why the “Q” doesn’t run 24/7 to Astoria, but that’s one of countless mysteries about the MTA’s management of the subway system. .

Queens gun buyback takes 74 firearms off streets, including ghost guns and assault weapons: DA

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that 74 firearms were taken off the streets at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons. As a result, these firearms will not be used to cause heartache and tragedy.”
