IAWTP. What actually would have been more useful, however would have been to extend the existing platform at So/Fy to hold 10 cars and use the remainder of the monies to rebuild the junctions at both 96/Bway and Nostrand/E Pky. this would enable both Bway and Lenox services to access both local and express tracks at 96 St and smooth out the access to the Nostrand Av Line for Lexington Av services operating in Brooklyn. Also, for the money beong spent on an entirely new station at So/Fy, the inside platform at that station could have been rebuilt to allow for Lexington Av access to that station without interfering with the 7 Av service a was the case in the past. Since there are already some rush hour Lex trains that terminate at Bwl Grn, these intervals could carry passengers in and out of So/Fy and during the hours when #5 service terminates at Bwl Grn, it could carry passengers to So/Fy and during midnights when #5 service isn't running, #6 trains could be extended there as was done in the past. |
