The SI tunnel will never be built..unless the FEDS step up to build it.This tunnel is of great importance,which is why its taking so long for it to be constructed.. it would have to built with two levels like the 63rd st line..due to the much needed freight traffic not being able to directly access the city from new Jersey without trucks or car float.. 10 BILLION is alot of money for this route..but in the long run.it will be a vital link to the development of our transportation system and our city..especially Staten Island.. The SAS "tail tracks" are planned to run very deep under South Ferry,out into the Bay..where it would end abruptly at a rock wall.. My idea for that would be to continue the tunneling to Brooklyn to Atlantic avenue..continuing under that street to the Flatbush Terminal..where a track connection could be made to the IND CROSSTOWN or IND FULTON ST line and the LIRR. Using the Crosstown would increase its importance..giving it direct access to lower,Midtown and the upper regions of Manhattan..with the obvious links to the Bronx and Queens if the new station Complex is built in the Sunnyside Yards area for the LIRR/ NJ TRANSIT and NYCT The Fulton street branch is of course to divert the locals from the Cranberry st tunnel up second avenue..moving Fulton service to the East side..OR up water st to GRAND..to west fourth..back to 8th avenue. just saying.. |
