Posted by sloth on Sat Sep 28 22:44:12 2019, in response to Re: Lower Montauk Branch Passenger Rail Study (Final Report 2018) could cost over $2 Billion, posted by Edwards! on Sat Sep 28 12:22:27 2019. Since you asked. The endpoints of the Montauk are well covered by the E train. It manages to miss every population center along the way-- despite roughly paralleling Metropolitan Ave!-- except perhaps Richmond Hill which has a subway stop five blocks in either direction. Maybe if you squint hard enough the old Fresh Pond stop, halfway between Ridgewood and Maspeth yet convenient to neither, could attract a handful of riders. Whereas the Rockaway line, which you did not mention in your second system of pie in the sky money pits, at least would have a clear purpose and an actual ridership if rail was relaid there. |
