I just read the study.They seem to be in denial that there is any tunneling at all, just "provisions" for it on Queens Blvd. They also want to replace overpasses at places such as Park Lane South and Jamaica Avenue simply because they have been unused and not painted since 1962 and would not meet seismic requirements. LI stations would have snow and ice melting technology. That's nice, but the rest and of the LIRR and subway system lack that. Woodhaven Jct station doesn't need north end access. Why are they demanding it ? Center 600' long train over Atlantic Avenue ought to be sufficient. The J line 104th Street station's 102nd street mezzanine needs to be put back. No mention of that, and assumed no ridership transfers would occur. Seems to me they are trying to pile on costs to make it $6.7 to $8 billion. No mention of the tree route structure within the embankment, and whether or not that all has to be dug out. Just description of silt, soil, morraine, ground water, and bedrock 400' down. That's what Long Island + Queens are. Why is that an issue here ? |
