At the very least,SAS across 125th should have a transfer station to the 8th Ave line, and in my view connecting tunnels. I would, however conmtinue the route west to have a terminal beneath the IRT 125th St station on Broadway.Getting to work on both the link to the Bronx and the route down to lower Manhattan should begin ASAP. The provision for the station at Houston has been there from the beginning, let's see it used! My plan for better subway access easr of 2nd is to build the 9th St stub of PATH giving us transfer stations to the B'way BMT,Astor Place IRT, a station under 2nd, and a terminal under Tompkins Sq Pk. Explicit in this is full PATH fare integration with NYCT which should happen anyway. I love streetcars,but I think Manhattan is way too dense--elevated RRs were built because the streets were clogged. That has only gotten worse. Secondarily, having yet another not compatible with existing rail services system is bad policy. New shop facilities, another batch of specialty tools, spare parts, maintenance crews trained on another technology, This is one ofthe reasons I oppose "light rail" for Triboro X. |
