There's an argument that this transfer features "is NEEDED because of the temporary closure of the 14th Street Tunnel."I don't see that argument. How would this help people around the 14th St tunnel? The E, G, and M already connect with the 7 at Court Square, so the only new opportunity would be to go from the R to the 7 in LIC rather than just Jackson Heights. But that doesn't do anything for L riders. I don't even see this proposal as useful in general. I see significant usage only: 1) Overnights, to get from the N to the E (as there is no R) 2) For very specific and awkward service changes / reroutes, such as a closure of the 11th St cut and nothing else, or a closure of the 53rd St tube with something preventing the E from just going via 63rd (where it would, we assume, meet the Q at Lex/63). |
