I think that this is the right approach.But when you start submitting the rest of your proposals, you should first demonstrate the positive benefits of the S77 to the service planners. This would initially prevent them from forming negative opinions. (Hey, the service planners couldn't form negative opinions regarding my proposals for midtown and downtown Manhattan bus service, but I digress.) You should worry about the S77 proposal falling apart if and only if the service planners, AFTER they perform a comparative evaluation and community benefit analysis, like what's done in Philadelphia, and reveal the results publically, decide to take a radical stance against the route. Should this occur, your fallback should be to still have the S54 absorb most of the current S42 at its northern end to St. George. But, in the New Springville area, divert the current S54 via the SI Mall between Rockland Ave and Arthur Kill Rd, continuing along its current routing via Giffords/Nelson to Richmond Ave-Hylan Blvd. In this scenario, the S54 would still be shorter, hence more reliable, than the S78. And, New Springville residents would have a 10-15 minute bus ride to the Seaview Hospital. But in either scenario, the S52 should still be straightened out to operate down Sand Lane. BTW, I wish to attend a workshop for this Study. I hope that the workshop(s) won't be on a Tuesday or Saturday, as that I have class on these days. |
