Bay Parkway Station Might Need A Paint Job, But At Least There’s Jaeger Meister

Our submitter writes of the N train’s Bay Parkway station:

We may have a paint job out of the pages of National Geographic coverage of a post-war developing nation, human urine cascading down stairs and in every corner, green/black mold and pigeon shit stalagmites, and train cars that require face masks/holding your breath for 75 minutes, but at least we have Jaeger Meister! Gotta love South Brooklyn!

It’s just another entry in the continuing saga of the Sea Beach line’s degradation, which includes the ceilings at at least one station literally crumbling onto the platform, rain gutters collapsing, and, of course, peeling paint, water leaks and cracked concrete.

Rehabilitation of all stations from 86th Street to 8th Avenue has been on the table for years. It was planned to kick off in 2012, but was pushed back to October 2014. It’s most recently been delayed a little longer, now scheduled for November 2014.

It will be a four-year project, and if rehabilitation projects along other lines have been any indication several stations will be shut down for long stretches during construction.
