Posted by randyo on Wed Oct 18 18:39:46 2006, in response to Re: Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn College extention, posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Wed Oct 18 17:37:03 2006. On another thread which referred to what to do with the #7 Line if money were no object, a poster made reference to extending the Nostrand Av Line to Kings Plaza. Although that was one of the projects of the 1970s, the original plan was to extend the line to Av U and later all the way to Emmons Av in Sheepshead Bay. The Kings Plaza idea sounds like a good one, but even better would be to extend the Nostrand Av Line to Sheepshead Bay and utilize the bellmouths S/O Utica Av/E Pky and build a line down Utica Av to Kings Plaza. Something which I thought of which I don't think has ever been considered is to build the Utica Av Line as I indicated and instead of continuing the Nostrand Line to Emmons Av, have it swing east and under Av U to a 4 track joint underground terminal which could be built at Kings Plaza to serve both the extended Nostrand and Utica Lines. It could be configured similarly to Stillwell Av with trains from the Utica Line entering from one end and trains from Nostrand entering from the other. This would also allow for a train arriving from one line to continue to the other if service shortages or delays on one of the lines required it. |
