That would be extremely convenient for me, and I would actually like that idea (the 76th and 1st/York stop)...however being familiar with the area and its residents, unfortunately I can tell you that it will never happen. NIMBYs are in major abundance in the area, and a lot of them have money, which is a factor in the decision making...However, in a hypothetical where it does happen, I think they'd have to run the W more frequently, so a provision for this would likely have to include refurbishing the City Hall LL to terminate ol' Wilbur, because Whitehall St. doesn't have enough capacity. With no layups or approaches to the middle track at Whitehall, all delays in turning trains would affect the R as well, and the N on weekends if they still decide not to send it via Bridge (I'd think they would, but just saying if they didn't). As for Queens someday, I'd like to see them expand subway service OFF Queens Blvd. some more, to ease congestion on those lines. Perhaps a line that once in Queens works its way towards Astoria Blvd. and follows that East. But, well, now we're really dreaming... |
