"Finally, a simple cost-benefit study would show that the extremely high cost of building two flying junctions onto two continuously operated lines in an area with significant existing utilities and extremely dense property development for the benefit of eliminating a single transfer or a one block walk is just not worth it."Based on the cost of connecting 63 St to the Queens Blvd IND, I will hazard a guess that connecting the Broadway BMT to the 8 Ave IND would cost at least $2 billion. I would rather spend my imaginary $2 billion on more useful projects. |
