Considering the cost of a subway tunnel underwater, the length of time and engineering to build it - it is highly unlikely that Roosevelt Island will ever get a subway tunnel for its own exclusive use - nope, its not gonna happen.Considering that the 63rd Street tunnel is the new first East River crossing since the 1930's, remember its history - it was once called the "tunnel to nowhere". What's the chance that new tunnel would be built anytime soon? What are the chances of the Boston Red Sox winning not only the World Series, but during the same season/year the Super-Bowl? There really is not a "problem" with the merging of the N-train with the Q-train along the Broadway line. A couple of guys on the forum decided to think about a possible arrangement of train routes that removed such a merger as much as possible - a thought experiment. How that idea turned into a "problem" is anybody's guess. When ever the Q-train is routed uptown along the Second Avenue line (stubway or full-length), the TA could simply decide to merge the Q and N trains at the 57th Street station - there are switches for this both north and south of the station. The "problem" is solved. Mike |
