The MTA just keeps on pissing away the public's money on projects that could have been built much simpler.Allegedly, the fight that the MTA had over the construction of the 63rd Street Line near the Central Park Zoo was enough to avoid cut and cover construction for the future. FWIW, if you're going to go with deep bore construction, I'd argue that going with a narrower station footprint so you're not digging big caves underground is probably key to keeping costs low. Something like this with elevators to the top would probably be more ideal:  Even if NYCTA & MTACC won't go for that arrangement, note how RATP in Paris still builds stations to low clearances compared to our choice in aping WMATA's station designs:  That station is nearly two years old. |
