Re: Extending the SAS across 125th on the table

Posted by Dyre Dan on Mon Oct 9 15:24:34 2023, in response to Re: Extending the SAS across 125th on the table, posted by Stephen Bauman on Sun Oct 8 21:49:23 2023.

Obviously, if the new stations are all at the same intersections as existing stations, there will be no change in anybody's distance to "the subway", and no one needs a table of statistics to see that.

But a crosstown line on 125th St. will greatly increase connectivity between lines, making many trips a lot shorter than they had been, and so making the subway a practical alternative for trips that it wasn't practical for before. I'm talking about trips between stations on different lines in upper Manhattan and the Bronx, which would now require going down to 96th St. or even 42nd St. (or else do a crazy zig-zag using up to five trains). Or from, say, the #6 line to points on the upper West Side, like Columbia University.
