In a democracy (republicif you insist) that situation is defective. Of course building a brand new tunnel would be very expensive, and without lots of bureaucratic waivers, take an eternity, but the long term advantages are potentially huge. So, from my POV, hard fight but likely worthwhile especially if the pressure can include wiping out most of the NIMBY delaying tactics. For comparison, imagine telling anyone 20 years ago that the IRT Flushing Line would be built overo Hudson Yards before the SAS got the stubway up and running. |
