I posted this only as trial balloon to see what reactions are out there. So your posting is good, and I agree that "it [Canarsie Trains via the J Line] does not benefit the majority of L-train riders - especially those in the higher ridership western stations of the L-line." And it's certainly true that under a complete tunnel closure "L-trains would be needed to service the "Brooklyn only segment", and at least 2-3 L-trains would be needed to run a shuttle service on the "Manhattan only" segment."Obviously, it's going to take a whole collection of alternative services if the 14th St. Tube is shut down. Myrtle-Wyckoff becomes a much bigger (volume-wise) transfer point than it is now, since the M offers direct service along 6th Ave. Another idea that must be considered is direct bus service. L stations between Bedford and DeKalb should receive express buses to and from 34th Street via McGuiness Blvd. and the QM Tunnel. Along 34th Street there's already a bus lane, so transfers to and from all N-S subways and buses would be easy. |
