The proposal might have addressed the Hoyt-Schermerhorn switch issue, but that does not mean their solution is adequate. Why would you want to have a sharp curve in the last few dozen feet of an otherwise nearly tangent platform? Also is there sufficient clearance above the trains for the girders that'd be required to carry the load of the columns that'd have to be deleted in the red hatched areas? And finally, positioning the switch at the very end of the platform would seem to require the train to nearly knock down the signal while platformed. That could have a catastrophic impact on G train capacity right when it is most needed. |
