"Yes, I was substituting for Heypaul who is away on assignment. :)"I like your idea of a car float. Once the cars reach the Manhattan side, I would propose that they run across 14th Street at street level. The idea of a 3rd tube to be used during reconstruction of the original tubes is suggested by what the highway engineers have been doing during the reconstruction of the Belt Parkway overpasses in the area between Knapp Street and Pennsylvania Ave over the last 5 to 10 years. Before they rebuild and reinforce the existing roadway, they have spent considerable time, money and energy building a new 3 lane bypass route that will handle traffic while they rebuild one of the current 3 lane roads. So the subway engineers could build a new tube that would then handle subway traffic while they rebuild each of the old tubes, one at a time. After all the work has been done, this new third tube could be used in rush hours to bring more trains into or out of the City. |
