I think this suggestion for terminating the R-train at Whitehall Street comes with the implication that there would not be any service from Whitehall Street to Brooklyn. I hope that is not the case.In a sense this would be similar to when the Montague Street tunnel was closed for a year for tunnel repair, where the R-train traveled only between Manhattan and Queens (and only in Brooklyn). Leaving the Fulton Street Center as the required Plan-B for trips to/from work. For me, the ability of taking the R-train from directly in front of the Ferry terminal for the regular work trips to/from Brooklyn is extremely important - Plan-A. There are many Staten Islanders who take the R-train from the Whitehall Street station to downtown Brooklyn. Exchanging R-train service out of Whitehall Street for a J/Brown-M train like service out of the Broad Street station for work trips to/from Brooklyn requires a good daily hike to/from the ferry terminal. It is a good uphill trek to/from the ferry terminal to Broad Street, I've taken this walk in the past. Leaving Broad Street for the ferry could easily mean a missed ferry, its happened in the past. I hoping the suggestions of ending the R-train at the Whitehall Street station also means there another service from Whitehall Street to/from Brooklyn. Mike |
