Posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Thu Sep 6 20:01:21 2007, in response to Water St Subway instead of FTC and SF rebuild? (was:Re: Would 4-track express service...), posted by WillD on Thu Sep 6 10:22:03 2007. I'm the Yuri in question who proposed the idea to Will in a transitchat several nights ago: KEY Teal - Lower Second Avenue Subway to be built first Dark Blue - Upper Second Avenue Subway to be built in the future Black - Theoretical Line to Eastern Queens to be built in the future Orange - Sixth Avenue Line Alignments via Manhattan Bridge and Rutgers Street Tubes Brown - Nassau Street Line In essence, the idea is based on reviving the old Shallow Chrystie Alignment and using it for a lower Second Avenue Subway section that would have been paid for with the money that's currently being spent on Fulton Street Transit Centre and the South Ferry reconstruction with the possibility of additional federal, state, and local capital funds. This would be a temporary arrangement designed to allow for some type of Sixth Avenue service to connect to a Lower Manhattan segment of the Second Avenue Subway serving the Water Street area. Once the rest of the SAS would be built, the connection would be mothballed ready for use when needed. |
