Watch For Changes To The F And R Lines This Week

Good morning, South Slope! It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so there’s no trash or recycling collection in NYC today. Alternate side parking is also suspended, but meters are still in effect, so don’t forget to feed the Muni. Trains are operating on a regular weekday schedule, and as we look forward through the rest of the week, 4th Avenue/9th Street and Prospect Avenue are in good shape, but watch out for a number of changes further down the F and R lines.
