Well..Brooklyn has the BEST COVERAGE in the entire city..if you really want to know the truth. It has the most mileage in subway elevated lines...but it also has the most outdated. Queens has the most need for new routes..as the most non covered areas involved.. Most of the "growth" has happen NEAR RAIL LINES...such as Flushing..Jamaica..and others..while outlaying areas line Springfield Gardens..Rochdale..St Albans and other are laging behind. The is an ABSOLUTE NEED for a rail line in Northeast AND Southeast Queens..along with a new trunk line across Central Queens to compliment the Queens Blvd subway. A line is also needed for cross queens riders[Flushing Whitestone and others..to Jamaica and other areas] The Van Wyck could be used as a model for this..taking a que from the AIRTRAIN T BENT line. Brooklyn DOES need additional connections...ESPECIALLY the UTICA avenue corridor..but as long as the MTA places MANHATTAN AS IT'S PRIORITY..we in the "outter boro's" will continue to get the short end of the stick. Also..to answer Ron's "whining" comment... The little projects that the MTA is carrying out were something that the MTA "had to do" in order the keep the structures from collapsing into the streets.. The NEW CONEY ISLAND STATION? HAD TO REBUILD IT..as it was rotting away for YEARS. ATLANTIC TERMINAL? Was rebuilt in concert with the new malls AND New LIRR TERMINAL...ANd NEW DEVELOPMENTS like the ATLANTIC YARDS PROJECT. Also..the IRT SUBWAY'S ATLANTIC AVENUE STATION AREA needed to be reconstructed[just like NEVINS] DUE TO ITS AGE and threat of a CAVE IN... The R143 cars are NOT a GIFT to Brooklynites..they were NEEDED..just like the 160 are. We didn't NEED CBTC on the CANARSIE LINE..it was CHOOSEN by the MTA as a guina PIG to TEST OUT THE NEW FEATURE..to see IF IT COULD WORK.. So..we should be happy with the transit authority for rebuilding structures that they KNEW they should have fixed YEARS ago? Come on,man...give me a break. They "REPAIR" stuctures because they have to.PERIOD. Now..lets see them move on the LOWER MANHATTAN ACCESS PROJECT through Downtown and Central Brooklyn... Lets see them do something about the Jamaica Elevated over Fulton st NOT falling into the street due to its age.. Lets see them give use a new double deck tunnel under the east river to replace the BOTTLE NECK on the 8th avenue subway to Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge.. Lets see them fix the South Brooklyn IND to speed up the long trip to Manhattan.. Lets see them give North Brooklyn riders BETTER SERVICE to Midtown..by getting them OFF the already packed F train at DELANCEY ST.. Lets see them give us a DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN to DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN connection to the SECOND AVENUE SUBWAY.... That what they can do for me.. |
