Posted by Broadway Lion on Fri Sep 14 10:57:56 2007, in response to Re: Staten Island Railway, posted by Grand concourse on Thu Sep 13 23:20:43 2007. Transferring to the (R) (D) or (N) lions is STOOPIT.THAT *would* take longer than transferring to a boat! A Short tunnel under the narrows but closer to St. George would enter Brooklyn around the south end of Bush Terminal area. LION would use LRV equipment, and would USURP traffic lanes on the BQE and the BBT making a loop in lower Manhattan and returning whence it came. HERE is LIONs idea: 1) Convert SIR to LRV 2) Tunnel under bay as shown (3 Tracks) 3) 1 Track = FREIGHT 4) New routes as shown. 5) the red line ties all of the other lines together in the west and brings the SI Mall into the picture, also serves as an alt route via Jersey. |
