Posted by WillD on Fri Jul 31 18:01:28 2015, in response to A super crazy fantasy idea, posted by NIMBYkiller on Fri Jul 31 11:38:56 2015. Stopped reading at "Alt G", that's where it made the leap from crazy to simply insane. At G is the most unfortunate flight of fancy to ever be hatched in the NY metro area. It'd be extraordinarily expensive to build, result in massive disruption at the street level, and provide relatively little benefit for the massive compatibility issues it'd present.Trying to dig a shallow tunnel into GCT's lower level is nothing but a recipe for unending budget overruns. Just look at what happened when we went from ARC's deep cavern to Gateway's shallow PSNY South. Alt G forces us to build shallow tunels at both NYP and GCT. You might be able to get away with a deep bore cavern next to ESA's terminal, but M42 might get in the way. I'd rather have an arrangement which allows easy transfers between NJT, LIRR, and perhaps MNRR trains than trying to tackle the incompatibilities in the three systems. |
