Posted by Future Motorman on Mon Feb 12 12:09:01 2007, in response to A Transit Robert Moses Guy, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Feb 9 14:16:58 2007. 1. If and when the 2nd Ave Subway is complete in the Manhattan portion, extend one portion across 125st, with stops at (besides Lex), Lenox, St.Nicholas, and B'way. The second should go under the east river (Parallel the 6 train), then curve north up 3rd Ave (Bx), going to Fordham Plaza, then continuing up Webster to Nereid/238st. I know Metro North runs like this (almost), but does not have adequate stops along its line. The stops for the Bronx would be, 3rd/138st, 3rd/149st, 3rd/163st, 3rd/169st, 3rd/Claremont P'way, 3rd/174st, 3rd/Tremont Ave., 3rd/180st, St.Barnabas, Fordham Plaza, then Webster/Bedford Park, Webster/204st, Webster/Gun Hill Rd, Webster/233st, Webster/Nereid Ave. (aka 238st). It would ease out the rush hour crowding, on the Bx55, Bx41, Bx15, and possibly the Bx16.2. The 1 train should be branched off at 207st, and run across Fordhan Rd/Pelham P'way. The Bx12 forget it. The traffic, the disaster that line has become. Some trains would go to Van Cortlandt, while some would go to CO-OP City. Stops would be University Ave/Jerome (actual stop under Grand Ave), Grand Concourse, Fordham Plaza, Southern Blvd, White Plains Rd., Williamsbridge Rd., Eastchester Rd, Bay Plaza (Bartow Ave), CO-OP City Blvd, and last 233st. The 6 train should be extended to these last few stops in CO-OP City also. 3. As someone proposed before, build a subway/EL along the Cross-Bronx. It should be a connector to the main lines in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens. The Subway/EL, would start at 181st, run along the expressway, then split crossing the Bay/River (Whitestone Bridge, Throgs Neck Bridge, or tunnel (if a tunnel is built instead)), going to JFK Airport (Whitestone side), and Hillside (Throgs neck Side). 4. A Subway line under the LIE. The CBX subway (3rd one I posted) would definately connect to this line. This line would run as far West as Jacob Javits, and East as the Long Island Border. Expensive as it is to build subways, they are more efficient and carry ALOT more than stinky buses can carry. Short term, it would cost alot. Long term the MTA saves, because less buses are needed, which means less drivers (who have to have health-care, pensions, dental, vision), are needed. As for the other Boroughs, those mor familiar with those can elaborate, on what is needed there. |
