Posted by J trainloco on Mon Sep 25 17:47:33 2006, in response to Re: R46 Technology (was: Re: R-160 Update), posted by Edwards! on Mon Sep 25 15:47:49 2006. I know how bad Utica is. I ride the 46 a lot.Even South Jamaica is getting SOMETHING out of the AIRTRAIN deal..with its expaned commuter service via the LIRR,running subway like service levels from Valley Stream,Hollis and Queens Villiage to AND thur lower Manhattan! At what price? Who's going to want to pay those prices from those neighborhoods? And, when did it say that LIRR was going to increase service to those neighborhoods? In regard to WHERE stations along Airtrain could be placed: I don't know. But I do know that there are neighborhoods in that area, and there isn't any subway service. If you must have locations, how about LINDEN and another one at Rockaway Blvd? You know what I'd like to see done? Extend the J via AIRTRAIN, making local stops at new stations between Jamaica and JFK. Simultaneously, have the E take over the branch of the LIRR that stops at Locust Manor and Laurelton. If there's not enough room to shift all the service from this branch to the one with a stop at St. Albans (if you know the names of these lines, correct me), do as was planned back in the 70s, and add a 3rd track. Add stops accordingly. I've just offered a cost-effective manner of adding service to Far eastern Queens. And, it limits NIMBYS. |
