I've never worked for MTA in any capacity. But my lifetime of observation leads me to agree with you. The single-tracking plan likely won't work, , for the reasons you describe. Also, work on the 1 Ave Station might also require some weekend full closures.But even weekend and/or night shutdowns are preferable to the full 15-month shutdown. Assuming the new plan is sound, I'm in favor of it. Similarly, the Port Authority asked the MTA to fully shut down the 1 train through WTC a few years back, for 18 months, to facilitate building new WTC. The MTA only agreed to weekend/night closures. It made the WTC job slower and costlier- but MTA wanted its peak hour customers to have service. And I'm pretty sure that the southern end of the 1 gets less ridership than the L between Bedford and 8th Ave. So I'd think the MTA wouldn't really resist internally the new plan. |
