Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Jun 22 14:34:02 2008, in response to Re: Second Ave Alignment Change, posted by Broadway Lion on Sat Jun 21 18:27:38 2008. Actually:The idea of the N and Q both going to 125 as you suggested (with the W becoming the full time Astoria line) is a good one, but would really work if by the time work on Phase 2 is going money can be found to build that part of the SAS to double as a 125th Street crosstown, with one of the two lines going to a new terminal at 125th Street and 12th Avenue (with a possible connection to the 8th Avenue line from 125th that would give the MTA greater flexibility in the future) and the other going to a separate terminal at 126th Street and 2nd Avenue with a possible later extension to The Bronx as a possible reconstruction of the Bronx portion of the old 3rd Avenue El. As noted before, with Columbia University expanding as they will be over the next 15 years or so, by the time Phase 2 is done, that part may be very well needed. and as I believe has also been suggested here in the past may be something to try and get Columbia to perhaps contribute to in order to complete the 125th Street crosstown aspect of this. |
