Posted by NIMBYkiller on Fri Jan 23 10:00:10 2015, in response to Re: AirTrain Proposed To Connect (7) Line With LaGuardia Airport ($450 Million, 5 years), posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Jan 22 21:37:38 2015. Thank you for not acknowledging my half assed idea that I've posted 3 or 4 times elsewhere in this thread. I was just addressing the operational logistics in this post, but since you insist:Underground, but it's a flood zone as you say, so there goes that I guess. Truth is, if the subway can't be done, than really nothing can going west of LGA because of that Hell Gate approach. I'd have to go take a look, but MAYBE there is space on either side of the GCP right in that area to make room for 2 tracks to run at the same level as the roadway briefly so it can pass under Hell Gate. You're good with GPS mapping and gradients and what not. While you're being critical, perhaps you can help out and tell us if that's a solution? Anything going west of the airport would have to run at GCP road level under the Hell Gate approach and past the runway. Is it physically possible? Is there space to shift the GCP lanes over in those two sections? Would the grades be too steep to dive from passing over the local roadways to passing under the Hell Gate approach and the runway approach? If they are, then pretty much anything west of the airport is DOA |
