Re: Second Ave Subway ........ Finally |

Posted by Stephen Bauman on Tue Oct 24 14:46:38 2006, in response to Second Ave Subway ........ Finally, posted by Secondavesubway on Tue Oct 24 10:40:49 2006. The $3.8 billion first phase of the Second Avenue subway is scheduled to be completed in 2013; it will carry about 200,000 riders a day.According to the 2003 Hub Bound Study, 625,000 cross the 60th St threshold each day on the Lex. The FEIS stated that load factor of trains arriving from the Bronx at 125th is 0.60 and that the load factor at the 60th St threshold is 1.10. That means that 284,000 of the riders crossing the 60th St threshold originated from Manhattan. Assuming that people will use the closest station, then the choice is 50-50 between the Lex and the SAS. N.B. I've ignored that there will be no SAS service north of 96th. I've also assumed that population is evenly distributed between 5th Ave and the river. That puts the projected SAS use at slightly under 150,000. |
