Posted by shadyelstation on Mon Apr 23 20:07:33 2007, in response to Re: Utica Avenue Subway, posted by Russ on Mon Apr 23 12:27:15 2007. I'd rather see the Utica Ave line as a branch of the SAS. Here is how I envision this line:South of 14 St/2 Ave, line branches out running under Houston St (or under 1st or 2nd St, then eastward to Houston if existing IND is blocking the way). Then, under South 4 and Meserole Sts in Brooklyn, curving eastward below the (L) line via Bushwick Ave. Next, line runs under Stuyvesant Ave utilizing existing shell at Fulton/Utica, then under Utica and Flatbush to Avenue U/Kings Plaza. (Some locations, such as line from Bushwick Ave to Stuyvesant Ave may require running under private property; I know this is a problem) Stations would exist at the following locations: 1 Avenue (connection to F/V/SAS) Avenue C Bedford Ave South 4 St (connection to G) Johnson Ave (connection to (L) at Montrose) Flushing Ave Myrtle - Willoughby Avs (connection to J/M/Z) Gates Ave Fulton St/Utica Ave (connection to A/C) Bergen St Eastern Pkwy (connection to 3/4) Winthrop St Church Ave Avenue D Kings Hwy Flatlands Ave Avenue N Avenue U/Kings Plaza Diverge from 2 Ave line is 2 tracks, expanding to 4 at Avenue C, where they meet extended 6 Ave "express" tracks. Then 4 tracks to Kings Hwy and 2 or 3 tracks to Kings Plaza (pure fantasy I know. I suppose you could get by w/2 tracks but that would be shortsighted, unless provisions for further expansion were built in). |
