October 31, 2005, NY1 — Local politicians and business owners protested in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Monday against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s proposed L train closures. Opponents of the plan say if the MTA suspends L train service on the weekends for repairs, it’s going to inconvenience more than just subway riders. The MTA is planning to shut down the L train tunnel between Manhattan and Brooklyn for repairs. The construction will last for at least seven weekends in the first half of 2006. The MTA has not provided dates for the tunnel closures yet. In the past my business has gone down at least 60 percent due to the L train closures, said Simone Manwarring, the owner of Sam and Seb.

UPDATE/REDACTION: Scarano Just Fine, Thank You
Earlier this week, we noted that there were rumors on the Internets (since redacted) that Dumbo architecture dean Robert Scarano had a run-in with the police. Scarano, in an email to Curbed, informs us that the rumor is emphatically false. Curbed regrets the error.
