Posted by Wallyhorse on Thu Mar 13 01:51:05 2008, in response to Re: Queens/Rockaway Super Express with Roosevelt Island and upper east side stops, posted by NIMBYkiller on Wed Mar 12 23:10:31 2008. Except for one thing:79th is not that far from 63rd in Manhattan (a little over three-quarters of a mile), and would really only be two extra stops the way I would do it. Also, doing so the way I would do it would allow for double the number of trains this Rockaway line could potentially use in all likelyhood, plus clear up what is likely if not right away is going to be in my opinion a major issue with the SAS: That is the fact there is no station between 72nd and 86th street and no entrance between 72nd and 83rd streets in one of the most densely populated areas in all of New York City, which is why I would do it that way to include a stop at 79th street and York-1st Avenues that I think would be among the most heavily used of the entire system, or at least outside of the CBDs. It may not be perfect, but if this line provides an alternative that includes a stop at Roosevelt Avenue and then stops on Roosevelt Island and then 79th Street and York-1st Avenues, it to me stands a better chance of coming to fruition rather than having it share trackage at any point with the exisiting QB lines. |
