Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Feb 14 07:33:04 2016, in response to Re: Disaster At The Community Board Meeting, posted by AlM on Fri Feb 12 16:39:05 2016. The plan for the additional (M) trains is why I would do them signed as (T) to 96th/2nd, with a maximum of 6-7 TPH (late nights 3 TPH) on a 24/7 basis. That avoids bigger problems on QB and also can make the (T) the weekend Broadway-Brooklyn route during this period when CBTC likely will make it impossible to run the (M) on QB most of the time.In this case, you do what you can to encourage people to go the long way if they can. Court Square is going to be one, hot mess no matter what and is why I would encourage riders to take the (G) the other way to either Hewes/Broadway (Broadway-Brooklyn line) or Fulton Street (for the (C) at Lafayette or 2/3/4/5/B/D/N/Q/R and maybe (W) at Atlantic-Barclays) with new OOS transfers. In addition, I'd be looking at express shuttle buses between Myrtle-Wyckoff and Atlantic-Barclays (only stopping at Myrtle-Broadway) and Myrtle-Wyckoff and 71st-Continental (non-stop) to keep as many people off the (G) and away from Court Square as possible. You also have "bus bridges" to Manhattan if possible and I would also keep 6-7 four-car sets of (L) trains on the Manhattan side for service between 1st and 8th Avenues there (using a max of five at any one time with trains not in use stored most likely at the edge of most likely the tunnel being worked on whenever possible). |
