G stands for "Going Farther into Brooklyn"?

While we're hesitant to harp on any good news MTA-related. The G train is proposed to be extended to Church Avenue in Brooklyn this fall because of construction. This means an easier transfer to the 4th Avenue R train, as well as direct access to Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, and Kensington.

The catch? There will be severe service disruptions along the shared portion of the F & G trains during this time, particularly in 2011 when service will not be available in certain directions at Smith-9th Street and 15th Street.

And of course, they are proposing to cut the G Train's Queens leg beyond Court Square permanently as part of the doomsday budget.
