Posted by Michael549 on Fri May 29 09:33:39 2015, in response to Re: What Would Happen If The 60th Street Tunnel Were Closed?, posted by Wallyhorse on Fri May 29 01:12:28 2015. From a previous message:"My plan does NOT have the (G) going to Queensboro Plaza (I said possibly with a stop at QUEENS Plaza above the current E/M/R station) with this (G) extension connecting at 39th Avenue (I thought that was obvious in the last post)." If you did mention Queen Plaza and I missed it, I apologize. My major point still stands - the design, planning and construction of such an elevated line would have to consider the location of the elevated #7 trains, finding the land & space for the elevating of tracks from the G-train, and connecting those tracks to the current Astoria line in a such a way that current N & Q trains could still travel to/from Manhattan. Plus any other roadways and structures in the area. That remains a very tall order for an out-age expected (in this example) for a year. It is doubtful that the design, planning and construction of such an elevated line could take less than a year to complete. Nor does this time-table take into account the hassles of getting such a project past the planning committees and process, as well as the funding lined up for this kind of a project. Again, just my thoughts. Mike |
