The problem with what passes for MTA planning is that many of the planners come from “Toonerville Trolley” systems that are primarily 2 track lines with few if any switches between terminals, so if any switch is not used 24/7, they want to remove it. When the Essex St master tower was first installed, it was planned to have all 4 tracks of the Centre St Line go through Canal St into Chambers was was originally intended when the line was constructed. The route of the tracks was installed on the model board but taped over like 76 St used to be on Euclid’s board. If the 4 tracks had been retained, there would not only have been an easier path to the Chambers turnback but canal could also have been used to turn back if needed. Instead of increasing flexibility, the cesspool of incompetence that passes for MTA planning and management took away what flexibility was already in place. |
