Andrew could have brought to the front burner but chose not to.LIRR Main Line 3rd track and/or grade crossing elimination concepts have been around since the 1960's, but kept getting shot down by NIMBY's, and not wanting a copy of the more urban-looking Babylon line. When Andrew wants something, like this and the Tappan Zee, he gets it. Larkfield Road in East Northport was proposed for grade elimination in the 1950's and 1960's. It would have been rebuilt like NY Ave in Huntington Station. 10 local business owners shot it down. That and Laurel Road have gridlock every time a Port Jeff train rolls by, and even worse when there is a scheduled passing meet. If LIRR were proactive, they could reschedule trains and use the abandoned Greenlawn siding and platform instead where there is less traffic. |
