Posted by The Port of Authority on Mon Jun 19 22:00:34 2006, in response to Re: Study Re: Here comes Staten Is. Light Rail, posted by tydev417 on Mon Jun 19 21:53:16 2006. But if the two lines are both LRT (or if they're both heavy rail), the Clifton shops can be used for both lines and this eliminates the need to add a second maintenance facility.Also it simplifies things to some extent; an LRV could, in theory, start at Tottenville, run to St George, then reverse and operate on the North Shore line. And, this allows for easier expansion of the entire system as a whole; it's easier to add LRT branches off the SIR line if it's converted to LRT. A good idea for a branch would be an extension from Eltingville up to the Staten Island Mall via the Eltingville Transit Center. |
