There are leasing arrangements or other deals that could have been worked out. During ten months of the year there would have been no removal of cash flow. If that is an issue, the route could be suspended for July and August. During the summer, the lot is not used to capacity on weekdays, so again there would have been no removal of cash flow.As far as preventing beachgoers from using that part of the lot on summer weekend It could have its own entrance and exit requiring a MetroCard swipe which deducts a fare if another mode of transit is not used within an hour. You are correct by stating the MTA could not do this by themselves. I shoukd have mentioned in the letter that we were talking about federal property but tried to keep it as short as possible so it would be published. I don't know anything about the old Neponsit Nursing Home, but that certainly may be a feasible alternative if the Q35 would also stop there. If only the new route would stop there, that would be a disadvantage since someone would have to commit to the new route before parking there and if it operates only every 30 minutes, that might be enough discouragement for riders not to use it. |
