Looking for route from Brooklyn to Patchogue

Submitted by JoyMesser on Thu, 07/13/2017 - 9:56am

Hi! I found an NYCC cue sheet that covers Babylon to Patchogue. Wondering if anyone has any route info for Brooklyn to Babylon. There's always Googlemaps, but I would prefer a route that tried and true.  Thanks!! Joy

Hi,

Be sure to watch to the very end - toward the last, when he's sitting on a bench talking to another man, it fades to black and you think it's finished. Not so! Keep watching the bloopers at the end.

Regarding the GWB moveable barriers

Submitted by NWeissman on Wed, 07/12/2017 - 4:29pm

Since I'd been asked to look at the placement of the moveable barriers on the NJ-side of the GWB, here's what I've been able to determine:

- The barriers are set about 4 feet from the opposing fencing.  

- That exceeds the 36" required by ADA Standards (search for "403.5.1").  

- So if the deal struck by TA, NJBWC, et al was to maintain ADA access for the seven years of construction, as well as on the permanent facility, then the PA is keeping up its end.
