I agree that to make 4th Av. local service more reliable, it needs a shorter route. But marrying the R with the J does not make for a much shorter route. Instead, what I suggest, is keeping the J as is but running the R through Nassau St. to Atlantic Av. on the Canarsie line. That station would have to be restored with crew quarters, a capital expense but relatively not a big deal. The R would be fully local. An additional benefit would be allowing the J/Z to run express from Broadway Junction giving a more attractive alternative to E train riders boarding in Jamaica. Rolling stock could be maintained at East New York. Yes, 8-car trains would be used on the R. Question is, would the MTA have enough rolling stock? |
