You are going to need multiple midtown options in my view, which is why I proposed what I did.
I posted my complete, two-part proposal here (in response to another poster's idea). Yes, it is complicated and yes, it creates logjams, but you are going to be dealing with 300,000+ daily riders on a line running 20 TPH at peak that suddenly is not running to Mahattan, directly affecting many and indirectly affecting others even if they are not traveling to Manhattan. That means no matter how you slice it, you are going to have major issues during the period of this shutdown, and what I was trying to do with mine ( (C) running Rockaway Parkway-168 via Canarsie, Broadway-Brooklyn, the (M) and then current route after West 4 and "Orange (T)" running Metropolitan-96th Street-2nd Avenue that really are extra (M) trains on weekdays and replacing the (M) late nights and weekends) was do it in a way that took as many passengers off the (L) and (G) as possible along with all the other changes I made.
Mine has nothing to do with fantasy (even if it looks that way) and has everything to do with trying to spread the pain out as much as possible because people are going to be affected all over the place no matter what is chosen, even if they live in areas not even close to the (L).
