Posted by RonInBayside on Wed Jan 30 14:41:30 2008, in response to Re: NYT: MTA Projects May Be Curtailed Re: Budget Concerns Threaten To Derail Fulton Transit Hub, posted by Spider-Pig on Wed Jan 30 11:19:19 2008. Correct. The effect of the 63rd St-41 Av tunnel is that the cost of bringing another branch of the LIRR into Manhattan is now measured by comparison to the work which must be accomplished to complete the current plan.Te tunnel boring machines are now under Park Av somewhere, perhaps in the 50s. If a new plan's cost is evaluated, the comparator is starting from the point where work still needs to be done on the current plan. Assuming that Judlau/Dragados completes its tunneling, sometime in May, the compariso would be thusly: New plan (new tunnels with finishing, new station, new track, power etc.) vs. existing plan (finish lining existing tunnels, build station, add track and power). The likelihood that the new plan will be more cost-effective than the existing one is quite small. Not zero, but very small. |
