Posted by WillD on Thu May 10 01:25:04 2012, in response to Re: Lhota tells Long Island Association no East Side Access until 2019, posted by Outside the Box on Wed May 9 12:05:12 2012. The trucks and trains rolling over the Qb Bridge refutes that.A light rail train of the GT8-100C/D tram-train Mr. Saitta would have the LIRR operate onto Manhattan's streets via his handwaving proposal weighs nearly twice the maximum weight of any truck now using the Queensboro Bridge. As no train currently uses the Queensboro bridge, mostly because of the superstructure removal, that clearly does not refute anything. The bridge has changed in the past three decades. The City has also reinforced/replaced the original structure supporting the former trolley lanes back in the 80's. And they put pedestrian walkways on that structure. The bridge *cannot* support a rail line any more. |
