These are a bunch of people who are in my opinion mainly older people more concerned about their legacies and what they leave to their heirs, and in some cases it could be the heirs are ones really driving what's going on at 69th out of fear their property values could plummet when some of them are looking at that money from a sale of such property if they inherit it after the owner dies to pay off long-term debts of their own.That station needs a 69th Street exit badly. What I would be doing if I were at the MTA, however, is look to build such an entrance at the far northern end of the station and have the entrance between 69th and 70th on Lexington if that is such a concern. I would also be looking to add new entrances to the 77th Street station on the (6) on the south end at 76th street for which the main purpose would be for students at Wagner Junior High School (76th between 2nd and 3rd Avenues) and Eleanor Roosevelt High School (76th east of 1st Avenue). That would relieve pressure on the main entrance at 77th street on what is another of the busiest local-only stations in the system. You have to also wonder if it is feasible to build an express station under the existing station at 68th Street for the 4/5 as that has become one of the busiest local stations in the system. Given what is there, it may be time to look into the feasibility of doing so. |
