Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Dec 13 15:58:11 2022, in response to Re: J line extension to Bay Ridge after Second Avenue subway opens?, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Dec 13 13:26:06 2022. That would be an option (running the (W) from 9th Avenue) and it is something I would consider as part of moving the (R) to Nassau as I previously described elsewhere, in this case the abandoned northbound side at Canal Street and Bowery would reopen with Canal Street remade into the terminal it once was (for trains coming off the Willy B) with Canal becoming the weekday terminal for an (R) that would operate out of East New York, including in-service runs from/to Broadway Junction with nights/weekends such (R) extended to Metropolitan Avenue, absorbing the night and weekend (M) shuttles). The way I would do it was not possible prior to the work that was done in 2004 that allowed for the abandonment of the northbound side at Canal and Bowery that would be re-activated for this as this (R) would terminate there and give Bay Ridge pols what they had wanted previously, the (R) being split.In this scenario, as I previously proposed, half of the (W) trains would terminate at Whitehall as they do now and the other half continue to 9th Avenue on the (D) to terminate as it would take over as the full-time Broadway local to 71-Continental (and in this scenario, the (W) actually could be a 24/7 line with all trains nights and weekends operating from/to 9th Avenue while the (N) operates via the bridge at all times). |
