I would fully rebuild the 3rd Avenue El (both Manhattan and the Bronx) that I think by the time the SAS is complete may be needed IN ADDITION TO the SAS, especially if all the buildings that are proposed for midtown are built.

This might be the one exception to the rules of not building for the IRT. In this case, I would have three branches of the line:

(8) that would be the Battery Park City Branch that would also be the main branch with peak direction express service between Chatam Square and Gun Hill Road. Going downtown, the line would actually once reaching Battery Park City (via Battery Place and before that Church Street, Chambers Street, Park Row, Centre Street and Worth Street) actually turn north and terminate at West Thames Street.

(9) that would be the South Ferry Branch, with stops at South Ferry, the Seaport and At Avenue of The Strongest before Chatam Square.

There also would be a shuttle that would run between West Thames Street and South Ferry that would be a (mostly) single track line between the two stations.

The (10) would be the Brookfield Place Branch. This branch would run along Worth with the (8) until the (8) broke off at Centre Street, then go to West Street and end at Brookfield Place.

Of course, this likely never happens, but......
