they should build the short line from Grand to South ferry..at least it will provide a tie in to the 6th avenue line to lower Manhattan..something we don't have today.

A fellow railfan and I came up with this as an alternative project to the South Ferry replacement and Fulton Street. Mind you, I'm biased due to personal reasons to seeing such a project happen, but given what we blew the money on, I suspect that this extension is probably a better use of resources.

At the time, because the V was running, we would have argued for some switches for the V to switch from the local to the express tracks, follow express tracks to Grand, and then build switches for an expanded four track station. Of course, it would have been nice to have that work coincide with Manhattan Bridge repair work...
