The news from Brooklyn Bridge Park has been all good in recent months, as the long-awaited public project has been coming satisfyingly into focus. One potential bad piece of news, however, surfaced yesterday: The MTA might axe the B25 bus, the only one that runs past the park, as part of its Doomsday scenario. “It’s totally counterproductive,” said Gene Russianoff, chief attorney for the Straphangers Campaign. “You are building a major new park in Brooklyn and then you are turning off one of the main means of access to it? Now they expect us all schlep up and down the hill to get there.”
