Many of these plans seem to assume people who live along the L only want to go to Midtown. My family all lives in Ridgewood and my mother works in Downtown Brooklyn. She rides the L backwards to B'way Junction and gets the A. I only take the L a few stops, only within Brooklyn.No. It's the people who ride the L under the East River in rush hour who overwhelmingly want to go to midtown. There are 20 tph worth of these people and they have to be accommodated somehow. The people who take the L for some other reason, such as within Brooklyn or within Manhattan, also need to be accommodated, of course. But it is much easier to accomodate them - just keep on providing service that is already there when you shut down the tunnels. My guess is that service every 5 minutes from Canarsie to Bedford Ave and 1 Ave to 8 Ave with 4-car trains will probably be just fine for those other people (I'm one of those people too). |
