Yes the beese have to find a new home. But looking way down the road - if the LIRR Atlantic Branch can be ceded to NYCT as a subway line then you have some interesting options such as reopening Woodhaven station and reconnecting the Atlantic branch to the Rockaway branch with a transfer option. The line would have to dive beneath the apartment block at Union Turnpike, but you could build a deep-level station in there. Stations at Parkville (Metropolitan Avenue), Brooklyn Manor (Jamaica Avenue with a transfer to the "J" at 102nd-104th Street (re-open the missing east exit there), Woodhaven (Atlantic Avenue) and Ozone Park (101st Avenue). Terminal? Howard Beach-JFK. Open up the ROW south of the station for layups and turnarounds. Then you have Airport service coming from multiple directions. Now, if they could only find a way to reconfigure the incorrectly-engineered-and-built AirTrain to accept standard length trains....wayne |
