Posted by trainsarefun on Sat Nov 10 17:20:57 2007, in response to Re: SI residents on MTA Fare Hike, posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Sat Nov 10 16:56:59 2007. I see that you've read me wrong and I see your not looking to delve in to the actual benefits and potential changes of it all.My proposal only involved sending the (1) line to St. George and that's where it would terminate, with the possibility of further extensions. Thanks for clarifying, but my intention certainly wasn't to mischracterize your proposal; I do think, however, that as stated in your previous post, it's somewhat vague that the present West Side IRT Local Line would terminate at St. George (or thereabout). If you build it..or in this case, implement it..they will come. Perhaps. I tend to think so, but in the case of SI, do SIers want more people to come? Certainly the character of SI would change with a direct rail link to NY. You're clearly aware of this, such as when you write, "And from all of that, then more people would then look to SI when in search of a new residency. SI is currently at a point where it's development is stagnated. Housing costs are going down across SI because of the recent commuting issues and will only continue to go down...." More fundamentally, though, how does your proposal stack up against some others mentioned here, such as extension to NJ, and after that, extension to a new Lower Manhattan terminal meeting up with LIRR's Atlantic Branch from the east and NJT's Hoboken Division services from the west? Why should SI get an express ride to Lower Manhattan that's not integrated with a more regional vision? |
