Posted by Gold_12TH on Fri Apr 27 16:01:14 2012 The head of the MTA said today he would like to see the 7 train extend further south into Chelsea and over to the West Side Highway.Joseph Lhota said he supports the 7 south-western expansion because that area of the city could use more subways. "I'd like to see the 7 train in other parts of New York City," he said at the Regional Plan Association's annual transportation conference. He said he'd like the 7 - currently being extended to 34 and 11th Avenue - to someday snake down to 23rd Street and the West Side Highway. Lhota recently said it was unlikely that Mayor Bloomberg's dream of a cross-Hudson River 7 train connection would ever happen. He does support the Amtrak Gateway project, which would add tunnels to bring trains from New Jersey into Manhattan. --- http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/mta_chairman_says_he_like_to_see_kxmOxltmpck92hncGBz8VP#ixzz1tGyZxiPs |
