IMO a full length 2nd Avenue subway is neccessary for continued growth of NYC. Not completing it was one of the biggest mistakes the city has ever made. Lets not forget that there were two els running the length of Manhattan on the east side & streched to the Bronx that were ripped down & replaced with busses.Oh yeah, making all the Avenues one way sure helped the busses move faster. So were forced to live with an overcrowded Lex Ave Line. If back then we had a Mayor who had the balls or integrity to stand up to Moses & the real estate intrests in the 1950s and cared about rapid transit needs, he'd have said that the 3d Ave El stays up until a subway is built to replace it. If that happened, we'd have a 2nd ave subway up & running a long time ago. But that was not to be. Now were going to have LIRR commuters comming into GCT. If a full length 4 track 2nd Ave Subway existed, any excess crowding could be easily absorbed. Thats were the prioritiy should have been then & should be now. |
