I can’t understand what the matter is with NY. In Boston, a couple of abandoned commuter lines were converted to transit use like Riverside and Old Colony,The big difference between the Rockaway Beach Branch (RBB) and the extensions to Riverside and Braintree is that the Boston extensions were to and through areas that lacked rail transit. The area around the Rockaway Beach Branch already has subway service within 1/2 mile of the RBB's stations. Ditto for extending the East Boston Line to Revere Beach, over the abandoned Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn RR. The big crime is 25% of NYC residents are not within walking distance of a subway station and none of the proposed extensions is addressing their needs. |
