Metropolitan transportation, a program for action. Report to Nelson A. Rockefeller, Governor of New York.
Third Avenue Elevated Replacement $95
The Third Avenue elevated is a slow, obsolete, blighting structure, much of it built before the turn of the century. The present service is a shuttle operation which is unsatisfactory, requiring an inconvenient transfer at 149th Street. The Third Avenue elevated will be replaced with a modern rapid transit line with through service to Manhattan. It is recommended that this be done by constructing extra trackage adjacent to the Penn Central Railroad on Park Avenue. The replacement transit route could connect with either the new Second Avenue subway or the existing IRT subway.
Efforts should be undertaken to coordinate this replacement with a renewal program to improve the environment of the Third Avenue-Park Avenue corridor. This might include covering over the exposed railroad cut. The renewal program will require separate financing.
So here goes: Is there actually room for two additional tracks on the MN ROW?
