I think one of the reasons for Willets Point is that the LIRR is underutilized there and there is plenty of room to put a station. Astoria Blvd area is pretty congested with the GCP, which has no trucks, and then Astoria Blvd with the trucks.Extending the N/W directly to LGA would be the ideal, but not if they have to build the El out over 31st. I think this is why Willets Point would be the easiest solution. And really, if you've ever been to a Mets game at either Shea or Citifield, you know how close you are to LGA. |
