Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Fri Oct 28 17:12:30 2016, in response to Re: Queens Boulevard during (L) shutdown, posted by Joe V on Wed Oct 26 13:56:45 2016. What comes to my mind here is the experement of making 61St Woodside a local only stop in both directions in the mid 1970s. The expresses would run from Junction Blvd. to QBP with the expresses highballing thru crowded Woodside platforms, leaning on their horn with several short toots & often going faster than they should.The locals folks & LIRR transfers screamed like hell. Then local congressman Ed Fowley threatened a class action suit against the MTA to right the wrong. Woodside & LIRR commuters rolled up their sleeves. To shorten the story, the MTA caved before any hearings commenced & Woodside was restored to express stop status. I don't know if that would qualify as a "precedent". I'll accept the legal minds opinion that post here to supply an answer. |
