VERY risky construction with all the old infrastructure underground. First obstacle is crossing 6th Avenue with 6th Avenue and Broadway subways, and NY Water Tunnel. Then what do you do with all the trains once they get there, what to do with MLV cars that won't fit through all of the Park Av tunnels, assuming MN would give up 6 tracks, which they won't do.MN was a major stakeholder, yet some will say "MTA won't cooperate", and their concerns were not taken seriously by a certain few advocates. I have yet to hear an definition of "cooperate". Are they supposed to sacrifice their GCT capacity, give up on MU's, end 3 + 1 peak direction operation of the tunnels, denigrate their schedules and reliability to accomodate NJT for "thru-running" fettish. Was NJT to send all trains to GCT, if not, how and where are NYPS and GCT bound passengers sorted out. It was all unworkable. |
