If that could somehow be done, it would be great as it can double as a 34th Street crosstown. The problem would be, such a tunnel would have to be extremely deep in that part of Manhattan because of all of the existing tunnels already in place there PLUS the new one being built for NJT.For that to work, what might have to happen there would be for the line to be open cut at Hunterspoint, then have it go via a new, rail-only bridge over the East River with the line continuing as an elevated line to 12th Avenue/34th Street. This could include stops on 34th Street at 1st-2nd or 2nd-3rd Avenues, Park-Madison Avenues (MetroCard transfer to the 6), Broadway-7th Avenue (MetroCard Transfers to the 1, 2, 3, B, D, F, N, R, V and W, 8th-9th Avenues (MetroCard transfers to the A, C and E) before a terminal at 11th-12th Avenues and 34th Street. I would also build such a line if possible with provisions to later build a branch (with access to/from both east and west) that could become a new 10th Avenue El with stops going uptown at 42nd (exits at 42nd, 44th and 45th), 57th Street (exits at 54th, 55th and 57th) and a terminal at 72nd and Amsterdam where it meets with Broadway (with transfers to the 1, 2 and 3) with further provisions to later go further up Amsterdam Avenue. |
