5. You need to know if your train is running, and if you have to move your car. There will be no Q trains running between Prospect Park and 57 Street through 5 a.m. Monday, this weekend, according to the MTA. If you want to get to the city, your best bet is to walk or take the 2 or 4 to Altantic Avenue and catch the N-train. If you're going the other way, take the Frankin Avenue Shuttle to Prospect Park, or catch the free shuttle bus, which makes stops at Prospect Park, 7 Av and Atlantic Av-Pacific St. There will be no suspension of alternate side until next week, when we get a huge reprive thanks to Passover, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. Alternate Parking will be suspended April 19-26, according to the NYC DOT.
