New: G Train from Park Slope to Williamsburg, Greenpoint and LI City

Here's the word from OTBKB fave Richard Grayson author of I Hate All of You On This L Train.

This morning I was able to get from Williamsburg to Park Slope with only the G train.  Previously I could do that only on weekends when the F service was disrupted, but they put up the "To Church Ave." signs here, replacing the "To Smith/9th St" signs this week, and starting today, people in Park Slope can take one train to Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Long Island City.
 
On Friday night coming home, I saw the G train signs next to the F train ones on the platform on Seventh Avenue.
 
For some of us who travel between the neighborhoods a lot, this is a big deal and a real pleasure.

George Smith running for City Council - District 39 is very happy to hear about this get move. I feel it will help alot of people get to where they are going faster and safer. I would love to help with any issues anyone would have I represent neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Kensington and Borough Park.

I can't wait to see you all at one of our many future events. "I am here for the people"

Why would you want to travel from Park Slope to Williamsburg in the first place? I could see the need for Greenpoint or LIC baffling!
