Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Thu Oct 10 19:39:11 2019, in response to Re: [VIDEO] New Tech Helps MTA Replace An Entire Bridge In One Weekend, posted by ChicagoMotorman on Thu Oct 10 13:40:52 2019. I find Chicago to do a better job with fixing its infrastructure than we do. I mean, just looking at many of the line and station rehab projects CTA has done over the past couple decades on Chicago-l.org, I was quite impressed with what I saw in the “after” pictures vs the “before.” They’ve even relocated station platforms in such a way that I think could serve as a model for building better connections between our trains, such as if they rebuild the Rockaway Beach Branch (RBB) in Queens.One of the key things for a rehabbed RBB to be a success is to have convenient connections to the bus and train lines that cross it, including the A at Liberty Ave and the J at Jamaica Ave. Currently, the branch passes under both line just out of reach of their nearest stations. Relocating both lines’ 104th Street stations closer to where they cross over would make the branch that much better of an option. But that would require the MTA to make real effort to work with the community and property owners and not let NIMBYs run the show. |
