Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Feb 14 07:16:09 2016, in response to Re: Disaster At The Community Board Meeting, posted by AlM on Fri Feb 12 14:03:48 2016. Which was why I had my plan for combined M/T from Metropolian Avenue and a re-routed (C) from Canarsie along with everything else on mine.The idea in the first post here as noted is one I suggested myself before and has been suggested by others. That (most likely if so (K) line) can be a 24/7 line as well running Rockaway Parkway to Broad Street while the (L) is truncated to between Bedford Avenue and Broadway Junction so the (L) can better serve the much more heavily traveled portion of the line and Broadway Junction is where many people make transfers anyway. If we went with the (K) idea, we would likely see the J/Z skip-stop perhaps after Hewes Street (where I would an OOS transfer to/from the (G)) with the (J) stopping at Lorimer and the (Z) stopping at Flushing Avenue, with the additional stops before Myrtle possibly during both rush hours. Meanwhile, the K (to/from Broadway Junction) and M/T (to/from Metropolitan) would be the peak-direction express lines and likely would join the J/Z in reverse-peak skip-stop to Myrtle (with the (K) stopping at Lorimer and the (M/T) stopping at Flushing Avenue in the reverse-peak direction). In this scenario, if it's found more trains are needed to midtown on weekends in particular, THEN perhaps on weekends (when there is less train traffic overall) you could then re-route the (C) to Rockaway Parkway and have both the (C) and (K) run to Canarsie then since as noted you have the CBTC issue with QB and the main purpose would be to get riders to midtown (and on weekends, the (E) running to Euclid with a shuttle running between Chambers and the uptown local track at Canal on the regular (E) route)). This might be the compromise version. |
