Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Apr 15 08:25:50 2012, in response to Re: (M) Train Stations See Ridership Jump & Brace for Construction, posted by grand concourse on Sat Apr 14 22:31:56 2012. And speaking of the Franklin shuttle:As noted before, I would be looking there to extend those platforms to at least 480 feet AND go back to two tracks for that stretch with Franklin Avenue made into a through station. Then, with a renovation/rebuild of the upper level of Myrtle Avenue and a connection built between Franklin Ave and Myrtle, you can then have my previously suggested "Black V" that would absorb the Franklin Shuttle as well as the weekend-overnight (M) shuttle, running from Metropolitan to Coney Island as a local and allowing the (Q) to run as a 24/7 express to Brighton (with the B switched to a local to Coney Island on the Brighton portion on weekdays). That's how I would handle that. |
