Unlike yourself, I believe simplicity has priority over complexity.Also, the changes you suggest require considerably more expense. Have you checked fares collected at the various stations involved? Is ridership increasing? Do they justify extra service and the increased expense? I believe also that it is too early to predict what the ridership would be at the new 2nd Av. stations. Initially, it would be best to send only the Q up there, which would provide service every 6 to 10 minutes during "normal" hours. To ensure undelayed service it should have an absolute minimum of merges. To ensure this, the N should go via tunnel to Astoria and be supplemented, as necessary, with Astoria to Whitehall service, call it the W or short-turned N or whatever. If and when renewal of the Rockaway Line becomes likelihood, we'll see what can be proposed. |
