Posted by RonInBayside on Fri Apr 20 17:41:40 2007, in response to Re: No, The outer boros get service to the CBD (was: Re: Whining......), posted by MATHA531 on Fri Apr 20 16:28:39 2007. Hey, I like to call whining, whining, when it's whining, and it was whining, and would have been whining in any case, even if whining wasn't intended. But enough whining. 8-)The Capital Planning process has made funding more ratiuonal and ties projects closely to identified funding. This means that projects are far less likely to run out of money midway through. That means that, if you can get a Brooklyn or Queens subway project into the Capital Plan, the mechanism for securing funding is underway. So a project, once committed to, is likely to succeed. The key is getting a political consensus on what the next project will be. The Atlantic Yards project will result in further improvements to the nearby existing subway facilities. The resulting increase in population may spur demands for Brooklyn subway expansion. In other words, you may get your wish - more Brooklyn subways. |
