" ...perhaps standard elevated structures (like the 1 and the 7) would be OK,"Agreed. The "box girder" type of El structure allows the snow to fall thru the crossties to the street. So based on that, outside lines should be able to maintain some service. Open cut lines (Brighton,Dyre Ave. e.g.) would have to be suspended. Also the Queens Blvd viaduct of the #7 would be off limits in a snowstorm The #7 could run in 2 sections, one TS to QBP & one from Main St. to 74st. The big financial downside to the MTA (taxpayer) for running the service in a blizzard is the first lawsuit(s) that hit the fan when someone slips & falls down a snow covered staircase & sues, which obvously wouldn't happen if the system was shut down |
