Posted by Dyre Dan on Mon Feb 27 11:18:57 2012, in response to Re: Upper East Side Residents Protest Proposed Subway Entrances, posted by Avid Reader on Mon Feb 27 08:18:07 2012. 42nd and 34th on 8th (and 7th) Avenues are kind of a special case, because of Penn Station. 6th Ave. has mostly "express" stations because it was initially built with only one set of thru tracks. But the Lex express was built for fast thru service from lower Manhattan to Harlem and the Bronx. It was initially just four stops from Brooklyn Bridge to 125th Street, now it's five. I don't want it to be six.I used to commute from the Bronx to 68th St., and changing at 86th St. was not a big problem. The north mezzanine at 59th St. could also be used, or change at 125th to avoid some stairs at the cost of making a few extra stops. If 68th St. was made an express stop, then why shouldn't 51st St., with the transfer to the E and M? But then four stops in a row would be "express" stops. No thanks. |
