Russ:

This sounds like an excellent idea, as long as you can figure out how to build it under the main tunnels already at sixth avenue and 23rd street (where it would have to be AT LEAST three levels down if not four or five), as you're looking at possibly having to do a super deep tunnel there.

If it somehow can be built, this could be done as a split with two different terminals that would serve areas with no subway at the moment: 14th street and 10th/11th avenues, perhaps even continuing downtown past there and merging with the E on the south end and/or the A/CC after Canal Street-6th avenue (including perhaps a new lower level station at Canal) and the Javits Center, possibly with a transfer there to the new 7 terminal when that gets built and/or continuing north via 10th or 11th avenue to 57th street before perhaps terminating at Columbus Circle and the Time Warner Center with transfers to the 8th avenue line and the 1 train (with stops at 23rd and 10th/11th avenue, 34th street and 42nd street with exits from 42nd-46th streets before 57th).

An excellent thought Russ.
