I'd rather see the realization that we need to max out the local tracks on Queens Blvd, and then work on a new Queens trunk line constructed by TBM maybe.Local QB tracks are already maxed out because of the constraints at 71st St. The only way to run more trains there is to branch off a local service. Hence the Whitepot Option at 63rd Dr. but they're going to have to come up with a new plan for today's realities, not something dusted off from when LBJ was in the White House. That area has hardly changed since LBJ was in the White House. The infrastructure and residential density have been about the same since the Eisenhower Administration. |
