I totally abandoned the first idea. Idea of sending the Queens M around along Lewis Ave and then to Myrtle and over using one trackway of the existing structure is almost brilliant. Only thing though, I think they would have to demolish whatever is on the corner of Myrtle and Lewis, as they would have to soften the curve as the new el would turn from lewis to Myrtle.It would cost money, but truthfully, it would eliminated a real bottleneck on both the M and the J there Almost the whole switching infastructure could be removed. While the M would still have to merge in front of the J the the J is running local to Manhattan, it wouldn't be any different than any other merge between two lines. Not that I would want the shuttle to continue between Myrtle and Metro, it could still be done. The switch could be retained to the middle track and use the current Queens track on the turn to return the M to metro when shuttle running, but I would rather see the M turn at Essex those times. |
