Those three projects would be much easier than extending the (E) and (F) trains. Triboro RX and the Lower Montauk line would be almost entirely built on existing rail ROWs, and building a subway under the LIE would provide relatively minimal disruption to the areas surrounding the already busy and loud expressway.Extending the (F) train in Queens is unfortunately a non-starter for the foreseeable future, too many NIMBYs along Hillside Avenue, especially as you get closer to Floral Park. Where do you think the (E) train can be practically extended to? I can only think of 1 scenario: Along the LIRR row to Locust Manor which would be duplicative and a waste of money. Other potential QBL extensions I can think of are: Down the Van Wyck to JFK, which I can’t see the Port Authority allowing to happen, or East along the GCP to Glen Oaks or so, which would be an okay idea, but an extension I most definitely wouldn’t rate above Triboro RX or a LIE subway. |
