That is a long-overdue items that needs to be done.That said, I would not be surprised if between now and the actual shutdown (especially given 2018 is an election year in New York State) that pols demand the Manhattan portion of the (L) be kept open and running between 1st and 8th Avenues so those who actually use the (L) as the 14th Street crosstown to get to other lines (especially walking first from Avenues C & D) can do so (as I would do that portion then, running only four-car trains and having 7-8 sets on the Manhattan side for that purpose using the layup tracks and one side of 1st and 3rd Avenues for storage with whatever tunnel is not being worked on at that moment available for non-electric work trains to come in and swap cars out on a regularly scheduled basis since you only would need the front half of the 1st Avenue station for that purpose during that time anyway). |
