The Brighton Express would use the Smith st Express tunnels.

This would move the bottle neck that limits the service on the Brighton, Prospect Park to DeKalb Avenue.

The Smith st line is limited to only 15 trains per hour via F, and 9 for G.
G service would not be affected by Brighton traffic on the lower level, and the Houston st leg would see several improvements..

Merging at DeKalb, Broadway trains have the Prospect Park line under Flatbush Ave solo.

The F could take over the Brighton Express, and the G could take over the Culver to Coney Island.

Of course, the place to build the portal would be on the middle of the row.. but that wouldn't be a problem since the divergence will be in the open cut.

The Broadway Local could be joined to the 2nd Ave/63rd st connection..if the MTA wanted to build it.
There's plenty of room there for the connection since both rows rise up.

Why they didn't do that is a head scratcher.
