Posted by This is Grand on Mon Sep 25 21:13:14 2006, in response to Re: R46 Technology (was: Re: R-160 Update), posted by Edwards! on Mon Sep 25 21:09:15 2006. Since there's no empirical evidence that a transit line in the center of an expressway wouldn't work well in NYC, I'm forced to use examples from other cities.Look at the CTA Blue Line (Northwest branch.) It's in the middle of a highway. Granted, it does see high ridership, but it would see even higher ridership if the line were built only a few blocks farther into the neighborhoods that the line was meant to serve. Rather than an LIE line, I'd rather see Northern Boulevard and Union Turnpike subways complemented by a few north-south lines (such as Main Street and/or Francis Lewis Boulevard.) |
