Posted by RonInBayside on Thu Nov 22 09:32:45 2007, in response to Union Turnpike is Unique (Re: Segmented or closed IND mezzanines ), posted by Mitch45 on Thu Nov 22 05:54:11 2007. That's a shame.Thank you for that great description! One way to utilize a facility like that is to route buses there. For example, MTA could renovate the areas with better lighting, make them ADA compliant, then route the Q46 (the Union Turnpike local bus) to drop passengers off and pick them up there. Could those entrances be upgraded to be out of the weather? Then, even on a rainy, snowy, sleety or otherwise cold, crappy day, passengers could stay dry transferring between bus and subway. MTA could also designate Union Turnpikes on maps and on the website as a "Kiss N Ride" station (meaning the same thing as WMATA does at Metrorail stations. The cabs and car services could swing in there and drop people off. |
