Posted by RonInBayside on Fri May 11 13:27:31 2007, in response to Re: May 11, 1975. . .End of the Culver shuttle, posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Fri May 11 12:31:34 2007. "The original terminus of the Archer/Merrick extension was supposed to be Springfield Blvd and Merrick Blvd. "Agreed. Consider my previous response amended. However, I was comparing it to the El will only extended to 168th street. "This "terminal" is a fire trap, there are not enough exits from the E platform to the mezzanine," Nonsense. Not a fire hazard at all. Rather nicely designed if anything. "The passage to the escalators is narrow," Agreed that this could be better in terms of passenger capacity. "and the crossover switches are too far away from the western end of this station." That's often touted here but the only factor you're looking at is capacity. The TA may have placed the switch where it is to reduce the noise inflicted on people on the platform. Since no one from the TA knowledgable about the specifics of the decision has ever posted here it's silly to conclude that we know all about the TA's "mistake." |
