Heh... if money grows on trees and we're trying to make everyone's transit needs happy, they could revive plans for the "Queens Super Express" via LIRR but have it diverge at Rego Park (whitepot junction is resurrected as a subway!). A new elevated station there with a metrocard transfer to 63rd drive for people who want local service.Thus the route is serviced via a tunnel with plenty of Manhattan capacity, and Rockaway residents / casino-goers get amazingly fast service to Midtown. The "initial operating segment" could be to connect to the Queens Blvd local but if we set our sights a bit higher the Rockaways could return to being a stone throw away... |
