The Sunnyside Station will be along the alignment of the East Side Access. Hunterspoint Ave is not. It's not even possible to stop trains at Hunterspoint that are going to Penn. Hunterspoint Ave's sole purpose is for people traveling to the East Side of Manhattan. It's convenient for the LIRR too, as the diesel fleet has to go to LIC yard anyway, passing by, so it works out well.Once East Side access opens to Grand Central, Hunterspoint Ave will be unneccessary and will probably be closed. (If anything, it will become a ghost town). Sunnyside station will be along the line to GC, and trains will have to pass by anyway. |
