I'm still dubious about building SAS below 42nd Street because other than the hospitals and the Hunter college campus, I can't think of much else, and for a fraction of the cost, you could probably get away with running a streetcar service to connect the really far locations back to rest of the subway. The problem is that the unless you build the additional tunnels, the line just simply ends up being an orphan that leads to a ferry dock, or you end up wasting time with backtracking over existing ROW (and wasting time) to get to 63rd Street. Unless you're willing to build a tunnel to maximize connections and usability, then I'd argue that the money should just go elsewhere. |
