The L 14th Street–Canarsie Local ^[three] is a rapid transit service in the B Division of the New York City Subway. Its road keepsake, or "bullet", is colored medium gray since it serves the BMT Canarsie Line.^[4]

The L operates at all times betwixt 8th Avenue in Chelsea, Manhattan, and Rockaway Parkway in Canarsie, Brooklyn. It also briefly enters Queens at Halsey Street, serving the neighborhood of Ridgewood.^[5] It is the first New York City Subway service to be automated using communications-based railroad train command.

The 50 commenced its current route and service pattern upon completion of the Canarsie Line in 1928. Limited trains formerly ran along the 50'southward trackage in central Brooklyn, running along the BMT Fulton Street Line in eastern Brooklyn, but were discontinued in 1956. Since and so, the L has been entirely local.

The L was originally the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation's xvi service. The 16 became the LL in 1967, which in turn became the L in 1985. In the early 2000s, the L saw a dramatic increase in ridership since many neighborhoods along the route have experienced gentrification. From April 2019 to April 2020, late-nighttime and weekend Fifty service between Manhattan and Brooklyn was temporarily reduced as part of the 14th Street Tunnel shutdown, which sought to repair damage to the 14th Street Tunnel incurred by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.^[6]

Original 16 designation for the BMT Canarsie Line service

The L was originally given the LL designation when letters were assigned to the BMT division. From 1928 to 1967, the aforementioned service was assigned the BMT number 16.

In 1924, part of the eventual 14th Street–Canarsie Line opened, called the "14th Street–Eastern District Line" (commonly the "14th Street–Eastern Line"), and was given the number 16. This was extended east, and in 1928 it was joined to the existing BMT Canarsie Line east of Broadway Junction. Since that time, the 14th Street–Canarsie Line service has operated every bit it is today, except for an extension from Sixth Avenue to 8th Artery, which opened on May 30, 1931, to connect to the new Eighth Avenue Subway. The Eighth Avenue Final was originally built in IND fashion and has been restored to BMT manner like Fulton Street and Broad Street. During blitz hours, limited service ran nonstop between Lorimer Street and Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues. (Locals usually ran from Eighth Artery to Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues or Atlantic Avenue at these times.)^[7]

Earlier the 14th Street–Eastern and Canarsie Lines were connected, the Canarsie part of the line already had a number, fourteen, running from Lower Manhattan via the Broadway Elevated and called the Canarsie Line.^[eight] When the 14th Street–Eastern Line was connected in 1928, this was renamed the Broadway (Brooklyn) Line, but continued to operate to Rockaway Parkway.^[9]

Starting on September 23, 1936, express trains ran to Lefferts Boulevard via the connection with the Fulton Street Elevated at Atlantic Avenue.^[10] This connectedness was severed on April 30, 1956, then the service ran to Rockaway Parkway again, simply was discontinued on Baronial 23. The R27 to R38's roll signs had both L and LL for express and local service, fifty-fifty though the express never ran thereafter.

1967−1985 [edit]

On Nov 26, 1967, with the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection, the BMT Eastern Partitioning lines were given letters. The xiv to Canarsie was given the label JJ (though the 14 main line was designated KK, continuing e from Broadway Junction towards Jamaica). On the other hand, the sixteen became the LL.^[11] Canarsie service to Lower Manhattan was discontinued in 1968.^[12] When double letters were dropped on May 5, 1985, the LL became the Fifty, and it still has that designation.^[13]

Skip-stop service proposal [edit]

In 1991, skip-stop service was proposed to speed service during the summit of blitz hours in the peak direction which would have reduced the running time from 41 minutes to 37 minutes. Under this program, the Grand designation, which was previously used as the Broadway Brooklyn Local from 1967 to 1976, and equally the Eighth Avenue Local from 1985 to 1988, would be repurposed and would appear in a gray bullet similar to the color the L uses. Both services would have mutual stops at Rockaway Parkway, Broadway Junction (then called Eastern Parkway), Myrtle Avenue, Lorimer Street, Kickoff Avenue, Union Square, 6th Avenue and 8th Avenue. L trains would terminate at E 105th Street, Livonia Avenue, Atlantic Artery, Wilson Artery, DeKalb Avenue, Morgan Artery, Grand Street, and Bedford Avenue; K trains would terminate at New Lots Avenue, Sutter Avenue, Bushwick Avenue–Aberdeen Street, Halsey Street, Jefferson Street, Montrose Avenue, Graham Avenue and 3rd Avenue. This change was proposed as a service improvement alongside other changes that would have either reduced or eliminated service to remainder the MTA's operational budget, but was never implemented.^[14]

Modernization and rehabilitation [edit]

Ridership and CBTC [edit]

Ridership

Annual ridership for the L service:^[15]

• 1994 . . . 16,968,025
• 1996 . . . 18,107,243
• 1998 . . . 21,196,693
• 2000 . . . 26,155,806
• 2005 . . . thirty,452,319

Headways:^[15]

• Morning and evening blitz hours: 4 minutes
• Midday: half dozen–viii minutes
• Overnight: 20 minutes

The 5 busiest stations in 2005:^[fifteen]

1. Starting time Avenue, Manhattan
2. Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
3. Canarsie–Rockaway Parkway, Canarsie, Brooklyn
4. DeKalb Artery, Bushwick, Brooklyn
5. Graham Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

The stations with greatest ridership increases in 2014:^[16]

• Bushwick Avenue–Aberdeen Street, Bushwick, Brooklyn
• Wilson Artery, Bushwick, Brooklyn
• Jefferson Street, Bushwick, Brooklyn

Ridership on the Fifty has increased dramatically since 2000 since many neighborhoods along the route have experienced gentrification. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's $443 million fleets of subway cars on the 50 was introduced in 2002, but past 2006 was already too small to handle growing ridership. The Transit Authority had projected that 212 Kawasaki-fabricated R143 subway cars would be enough to accommodate ridership demands for years to come, but ridership has risen higher than expected. Therefore, sixty-8 new R160A cars manufactured by Alstom were equipped with CBTC so they could run on the 50.

The BMT Canarsie Line tracks underwent an extensive retrofit over to CBTC, a system that controls the trains via a computer onboard, as opposed manually operated past a human operator. This was completed in Apr 2012.^[17] While the retrofit has resulted in nearly ii years of service changes and station closings, this system will somewhen allow trains to run closer together and enables in-station "countdown clock" displays to note the exact time until the next train arrives. The line also used OPTO (one person train operation) beginning in June 2005, but a combination of public outcry regarding perceived safety issues, which increased afterwards the July 2005 London tube bombings, heavy lobbying by the Send Workers Union of America (TWU), as well as an arbitration ruling that MTA had breached its contract with TWU acquired the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to end OPTO the following September. All the same, the MTA's successful implementation of countdown clocks on the L was the first in the system.^[eighteen]

14th Street Tunnel shutdown [edit]

Starting Apr 27, 2019,^[19] L service was limited betwixt Third Avenue and Bedford Avenue on tardily nights and weekends to allow for repairs on the Canarsie Line tunnels under the East River, which were desperately damaged by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Trains in both directions operated on one tube betwixt 3rd and Bedford Avenues while belatedly night and weekend piece of work was washed on the other tube.^[20] The original programme was for a full fifteen-month closure with both tubes closed simultaneously west of Bedford Avenue,^{[21] [22]} just the plans were revised in January 2019.^[20] On April 26, 2020, New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced the completion of the projection, months ahead of schedule.^{[23] [24]}
