In order for the SAS to really relieve Lexington, it needs to pass through east Midtown. Do remember that south of 42nd, the Lex runs under Park Ave south, and East midtown remains underserved.The Bronx is not as underserved with tunnels as you might think. The Lexington's 4 track tunnel, the 149th street tunnel to Lennox, the 3 track Concourse tunnel and the Broadway Bridge mean that the Bronx has a peak capacity of 168 tph (assuming maximum capacity of 25 tph). Contrast that to Queens' capacity of 112 tph, and you begin to see that Queens remains underserved. |
