I agree with some, disagree with others, and feel that Nassau County missed some others.Agree (at least in part): N2/N8, agree. N16, sort of agree. But I would extend the N17 to Roosevelt Field to make it useful and eliminate the N16 short-turns. (The N17 would serve NCC.) The costs of the extension would be offset by reduced deadhead mileage if assigned to Mitchel Field. N19---I can agree with that, but I wonder if service east of Sunrise Mall should be reduced as well. N24 - is this alternating trips to Hicksville to supplant the N78? N48 - must not be that significant traffic to the Nassau County Jail. N72 - overdue. To Babylon is overserved---Airport Plaza should be the end for most trips...and I would actually consider every 2 hours to Babylon on Saturdays, short-turning the other trips in Farmingdale. Disagree: N23/N27---disagree with this as the LIRR serves as a barrier between East Williston and Roslyn...I would have kept midday service but eliminate Saturday and/or Sunday service, as Roslyn Road is mostly residential and Willis Avenue is mostly commercial. But I would maintain an N23A and an N23B route---A trips to Mineola, and B trips to Hempstead via Roosevelt Field. N21; I would have paid for that with reductions in N80 and N81 service, along with reduced N19 service east of Sunrise Mall. Are N20 short-turns being added ending in Roslyn? I see Glen Cove as getting the short end of the stick, all in all. Would have added in addition: N25: Combine with the N58, and negotiate with Great Neck Plaza to have the stop located on Middle Neck Road, and combine the routes. Discontinue service beyond the Merchant Marine Academy. N57: during the AM rush, interline with N20 short-turns ending in Great Neck. During the PM rush, there would be a piece that does the N57 for its first part and the N25 in Great Neck and Kings Point only for the second part. |
