Here is what the actual City report says about Utica Ave and other subway proposals:B. Study new subway routes in underserved communities and other improvements to the subway network The City will work with the MTA to study a Utica Avenue extension from the Eastern Parkway Line (3/4 train). The Utica Avenue corridor is a prime candidate for the next generation of subway expansion—it is one of the densest areas in the city not directly served by the subway and is served by the second busiest bus route in the City, the B46. The City will also work with the MTA to explore creating new system transfers, such as a transfer between the L and 3 trains at Livonia Avenue. These new connections will reduce travel times and expand travel options for thousands of subway riders. Finally, the City will work with the MTA to identify strategies to improve and expand station entrances at subway stops experiencing growing ridership. As subway ridership continues to climb, we must take action to reduce over-crowding within subway stations, especially at choke points like stairways and fare-gate areas. http://www.nyc.gov/html/onenyc/downloads/pdf/publications/OneNYC.pdf |
