The problem with that plan was that it didn't provide for local stops.So you're saying the NIMBY's would've stopped resisting if stations were added? I thought the opposition was over an extension of the el period (with or wihtout new stations)... Also no one had the courage to do what was more feasible, tearing down the last two stops and curving the line over the GCP, while providing new local stops for Astoria residents to use. Why would one do this though? Astoria Blvd and Ditmars each have decent ridership (though I assume you'd probably implement a new Astoria Blvd station in the GCP alignment). In any case, there are other possibilities for LGA service (i.e. Triboro alignment + spur to LGA, new construction a-la AirTrain, or even the short-term solution of +SBS (M60 and/or that Bx50 (?) proposal))... visit my blog! |
