Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Mar 11 06:13:34 2008, in response to Re: Thus Spake the LION: Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction, posted by SMAZ on Sat Mar 8 16:22:51 2008. But with the possible need of 63rd street for more capacity on Queens Blvd. later on, if the Rockaway line winds up being the Super Express, what needs to likely be done is to set it up where it can be such (with a stop at Roosevelt Avenue due to it being a MAJOR transfer point to/from the 7), then if monies can be found to do it build a new tunnel further north in Queens that would allow for stops on the north side of Roosevelt Island and more importantly, a stop on York-1st Avenues and 79th street in Manhattan that I think would be heavily used by upper east siders independent of the SAS, especially since for many with the SAS being set up as it is, those who live east of 2nd Avenue in the 76th-81st street range (which is densely populated) will have a considerable walk to either the 72nd or 83rd street entrances to the SAS).Such a line I would then have stop at 72nd/2nd, then splitting into two branches: One going with the T, eventually to Hanover Square, the other going with the Q to Coney Island. The line going with the Q can be the N or W train, the line going with the T can be a K or U train. |
