Posted by Michael549 on Fri Jun 23 18:46:23 2017, in response to Re: Abysmal overnight service on 1/2/3 lines, posted by Dyre Dan on Fri Jun 23 16:55:29 2017. From a prevous message:The tunnel entrances to the 190th and 191st St. stations are a block apart, at Bennett Ave. and at Broadway. Both stations have access from both the top and the bottom of their respective hills. -------- Not exactly. From NYCSubway.Org 190th Street-Overlook Terrace - There are two exits from the 190th Street/Overlook Terrace station, neither of which leads to 190th Street or Overlook Terrace. One exit is via elevators to Fort Washington Avenue at Cabrini Boulevard and the Margaret Corbin Circle entrance to Fort Tryon Park. The elevators are still manually operated by an attendant. The other exit is a long downward-sloping corridor out to Bennett Avenue between 192nd Street and Broadway. Via Google Maps - I've "virtually walked" the distances they are not " a block apart! While it is true that Bennett Avenue is a "block" away from Broadway, the tunnel entrance to the #1 train is actually at Broadway and 190th street, actually at the intersection. Walking the block from one corner to the next corner at 190th Street and Broadway to 190th Street & Bennett Avenue does not yield a subway station entrance. The A-train entrance at Bennett Avenue near 192nd Street is actually a bit north of 192nd Street - NOT AT THE INTERSECTION. Even walking down 192nd Street and Bennett Avenue to 192nd Street and Broadway one has to walk to 190th Street for the #1 train entrance. The trick is that Broadway happens to be one long "unbroken block" and 191st Street does not seem to exist. Even if allowing for walking "UP one long block on Broadway" one still has walk the city block OVER to Bennett Avenue and then a bit further for the actual entrance to the A-train. Are these entrances within a short walking distance of each - yes, but no they are not "a block apart." Mike |
