Also (on weekends) getting from Steinway to any of the 6th Avenue Stations north of West 4th Street. Doing so would require either doubling back to Roosevelt for the F, or transferring at Queens Plaza (not hard) and to the F at West 4th (mildly inconvenient). Of course, there could be some convenient GO causing the F to run local, solving this problem.As for accessing the G, this was the result of a deliberate choices made in 2001 and 2010 (and unlikely to ever be reversed) to prioritize having 2 locals to Manhattan over crosstown access. I suppose with the SAS now open, it would be possible to run the M to 96th/2nd full time (or nearly so) and restore the G to Queens Blvd. But in 2001, Brooklyn hadn't yet built up the way it has now, and in 2010, there was no place else for the M to go once they stopped going through Montague ( I suppose they could have terminated at Chambers, but that would really be a little used route). So much as there should be a good direct connection between Brooklyn and Queens, I don't see the G ever coming back to Queens Blvd. |
