Interesting idea to suspend R train operation over night and replace it with J line service.The question is how much customer traffic demand exists from south Brooklyn towards Essex Street via the Center Street subway overnight? Does a number exist that indicates a significant demand in such a service pattern? Downtown Manhattan along Broad & Nassau Street has no where near the commercial activity it had prior to the mid 1990's. The majority of brokerage houses have either relocated to the midtown central business district, west to the Financial and World Trade Centers along West Street, or across the Hudson to Jersey City. For those who live in NYC just look across the Hudson at the Jersey City skyline along Hudson Avenue. Today children with school backpacks are escorted by parents on Broad Street on their way to school. More central to the argument, how many posters on this board use rapid transit from South Brooklyn, and require a one seat connection towards Essex Street via Broad Street at 3 AM every work day? Possibly it's time to resurrect the dead and write about 76th Street again? |
