Except - keep waiting. “From my understanding, the mayor is a big fan of subways and that works great for us,” said BIA chair Lorraine Chabot-Vecera…“I don’t think it’s necessarily a fantasy,” she said. “Unfortunately sometimes you have to play the wait-and-see game.”

On the other hand, lately the winters have been so mild there are only a few days each year when snow removal is needed. And it would cost untold millions to install lighting on all the MUPs.

I haven't been along that stretch in a few years though I live just south of it across the tracks and empty industrial fields but I recall seeing an old building with something about brick making on its side in faded paint. I was glad at the time to see they had saved some of our industrial heritage in the area.
