The TIGER grant application is for a $20 million station next door to the existing operations center. Assuming we win, it won't come close to funding an extension of anything south of the Acosta Bridge ramps.

brooklyn is a magnet for growth over the next 5 years,. With all that is going on and the location of this neiborhood we will likely see lots of plans for future development unfold very soon,..... One thing is for sure brooklyn is close to everything when it comes to city government and proffessionals ,.... We will see hotels , banks , retail , more bars like the millers ale house possibly coming to brooklyn ,..... Anyone that has any education in (LLL) knows what I am talking about,... Look for more announcements soon probably before 2014 we will get more proposals for commercial development in the brooklyn area ,... All you have to do is look at the 25 million dollar interchange that was completed 2 years ago and one can see the vision for major projects coming to the area,..... All the houses have been torn down or only a few remain , the property values are gong thru the roof all over the bordered area we call brooklyn ,..... Will post again soon on my views concerning commercial development near and in brooklyn very soon,.........

What has already been announced is already taking up almost all of the Riverside Ave. frontage.  Are you saying Park Street will get the next wave?

I believe there's still room for tons of infill on Riverside Avenue. For example, Hallmark still has a "phase 2" site between 220 Riverside and the Fuqua Development site.  There's also a few parcels surrounding the JTA Skyway site, adjacent to Fuqua.  On the other side of the street, most of what's there is suburban, so there's an opportunity to see infill in the spaces between buildings and the road, such as the YMCA's master plan showing a future building site on its parking lot.  However, before any of that happens, we're still waiting to see what the tenants will be in the 220 Riverside and Fuqua.

Looking at that map above, I see a possible skyway extention on that site where the y currently sits. If it's going to be a parking lot anyway, why not put another skyway stop there?
