From a previous message:"During the L shutdown, there will be more M service, that's for sure. But not more J/Z service probably." I'd hope that during the closing of the 14th Street Tunnel that the MTA would do the following (in no particular order - but all needed): a) Create a limited stop bus between the Bedford Avenue station and the 14th Street Third Avenue or Union Square Station, that uses the Williamburg Bridge. b) Add additional buses to the nearby local Brooklyn bus routes that help L-train riders reach nearby A, C, G, J, M, & Z stations. Even if a few/handful buses have to be borrowed from the Bronx, Manhattan or Queens. c) Extend the M-train between Metropolitan Avenue and the Sixth Avenue/57th Street station during the day times on weekends for the duration of the tunnel closure. During the nights & midnight hours times - the M-train operates to/from Chambers Street & Metropolitan Avenue for the duration of the tunnel closing. d) Add an additional train (per hour) to the C-train, add 1 or 2 additional trains (per hour) to the J & M trains for the duration of the tunnel closing. e) Keep enough of the L-train line trains ON the L-train so that the frequency of train stopping at the L-train Brooklyn stations does not decrease greatly - allowing those riders timely access to transfer to other train lines. f) Operate the Manhattan portion of the L-train route as a shuttle between 8th Avenue and First Avenue for the duration of the closing. g) Provide detailed information by various means of the transit and transportation options, while also detailing the progress of the working being done at all stages of the project. Just my thoughts. Mike |
