Re: Brooklyn-Manhattan tunnels on (L) train to close in 2019

As I said before, there will be MAJOR problems no matter what, which is why I previously suggested what I did and also now incorporating the other idea of a separate Broadway-Brooklyn line to Broad from Canarsie that previously was suggested.

The main concern is many on the (L) will take the (G) to Court Square and create problems there on both the (E)/(M) and (7) platforms (one reason if I'm at the MTA I'm exploring having the (G), (M) and (R) all go to 179th at all times during this shutdown solely so the (G) can stop at Queens Plaza so it also helps alleviate some of that issue, that would be in addition to the (T) going to 96th/2nd to supplement the (M) on its main route during the week). Given what (L) riders want (according to this Gothamist article from February 25), the MTA might actually have to go this way whether they want to or not.
