Let me just toss in a thought here FWIW. The IND has NEVER served CPW all that well, primarily because is borders on a park and the distance between the avenues is such that there never really was all that much demand on CPW local stops aside from perhaps the Museum and Planetarium stops. And the IND never really ran much local service there since the beginning. Residents of the upper west side KNOW they're stuck with the IRT there and it works for them. Always has.

Now ... I'm a Bronx boy and the D train was never any real great shakes either. If you were lucky enough to have one show up before you started hoofing it, the LAST thing you were going to accept was being shunted onto the local tracks all the way downtown. When I lived in the Bronx, I was aghast when I moved upstate only to learn that the trip to the city from Poughkeepsie wasn't all that much longer than taking the train out of the Bronx before you got downtown.

I won't pass judgement on OP here, but Bronx residents would be cutting somebody's ass if the D train became a local. Seriously ... bring back the AA and be done with it. :)
