Absolutely, and as I would do it, the Atlantic Avenue Station would be rebuilt to where:The outer "local" tracks would be used mainly for through trains. This would allow for perhaps a scenario where the a new line (perhaps a full-time (Z) train) replaces the (L) to Rockaway Parkway and runs weekdays to Broad Street with the (J) and late nights in place of the (R) to 95th Street in Brooklyn. This also could allow in the future for an SAS Line off the Broadway-Brooklyn line and Willy B that runs this route. The inner "express" tracks would mainly be used for trains that short-turn with it as the terminal. In this setup, it could be used so the (L) could be truncated to Atlantic Avenue where it can better cover the more heavily traveled portion of the line (late nights and other times when capacity would not be an issue, the (L) in this setup would still go to Rockaway Parkway. The old Snediker Avenue platform would also be rebuilt, but mainly for storage and also to terminate trains as needed. That to me would make for more efficient use as it was very short-sighted to tear down the old structures in 2005. |
