Posted by MainR3664 on Fri Mar 28 07:21:51 2014, in response to Port Authority commish wants new bus terminal, not WTC; 7 train to NJ - not dead yet., posted by Gold_12th on Wed Mar 26 15:44:36 2014. Thank you for posting this very interesting article. No doubt that if the far west side is to become prime real estate, some serious transit planning and construction is in order.I'd rather not expand the bus terminal, on account of the diesel fumes. Instead, what would be ideal would be regional unification of MNRR, LIRR, and NJ Transit Rail, with a common electric standard or really good electric dual modes, such as M8 cars. Then electrify the West Side Line all the way to Spuyten Duyvil. This way, a train could operate from New Jersey to Ronkonkoma, Yonkers, or New Haven (via Hell Gate, with local stops in the Bronx). Incorporate a vastly expanded Penn Station into all of this. There's plenty of underutilized land nearby. At the same time, a 10th Avenue Subway (IND/BMT specs), running from approximately 135th Street to the World Financial Center is also needed. There you go. MainR3664 solved the whole thing. |
