Good point but unfortunately, the way the infrastructure was built pretty much dictates the number of available options. Even the proposed connection the the Rockaways from N/O Roosevelt Av was shortsightedly designed with access only from the local tracks. Considering that the IND was supposed to have been built in such a way as to eliminate the problems that the BMT and IRT had regarding junctions, it seemed to have dropped the ball at locations like Canal St, Jay St, 50/6 and Qns Plaza.Those locations should have been designed as flying junctions like 42/8, 59 St and 135 St so that both lcl and exp trains could access all available branches. |
