Re: LIRR+Park Avenue

Mineola 100% agreed
I'd probably only electrify PJ to Kings Park and use the grounds of the old psych hospital for an electric yard. Housing density along the line drops off past Smithtown. But I would extend diesel service back to Wading River (the development is there now to justify it)
Electrify the existing central Bethpage to Babylon
Rebuild the central Garden City-Bethpage
Electrify OB at least to Roslyn (overall housing density along the branch falls off a cliff beyond there)
2nd track PW-Manhasset (replacing the viaduct isn't worth it)
Lengthen necessary stations

The list goes on and on, but none of it works without additional capacity at the core. If thru running of some services can bring about significant additional capacity, then it's worth it. Serving that cross-regional market is just an added bonus.
