BROOKLYN COLLEGE–Brooklyn College students, transit advocates, and community groups relay-hiked four miles up Flatbush Avenue, calling on the Adams administration for long overdue service improvements to the major Brooklyn artery on Thursday, Oct. 17.
Commencing at Nostrand and Flatbush Avenues just outside of BC, students hiked towards Atlantic Ave., passing a large MetroCard baton between groups at Beverly Road, Midwood Street, and the Brooklyn Public Library, before holding a press conference in front of Barclays Center.
To organizers of the protest, the goal was to highlight the need for more reliable transportation not just for Brooklynites, but for students who need access to reliable service in order to get to school.
