Posted by randyo on Thu Apr 23 19:30:43 2015, in response to Re: De Blasio Want To Expand The Subway, posted by NIMBYkiller on Wed Apr 22 23:39:43 2015. The S 4 St and Fulton/Utica stations are only partially completed shells that only are as long as the width of the subway envelopes below. In the unlikely event that such a subway line were ever to be completed, the M would probably have to be routed off 6 Av and the V reinstituted to serve the new subway. Since the new route would be relatively close to the Bway Bkln el west of Myrtle, many of the former M passengers west of Bway/Myrt would be able to avail themselves of the new service. The victims would be those passengers between Metro and Bway/Myrt who would probably lose their direct 6 Av service. The original configuration of the 6 Av and Houston St lines was designed prior to any consideration of Chrystie, so that as original envisioned, the Utica/Stuyvesant/S 4 St line would have the express service running up 6 Av and the lcl service operating via the Worth St subway into 8 Av. Once Chrystie severed the direct connection between 2 Av and the 6 Av exp tracks, the practicability of a S 4 St subway was greatly diminished. |
