You're not solving overcrowding on the Queens Blvd Line by adding a new branch off SAS to northern Roosevelt Island, though.....

As for giving SAS more capacity, running more trains on SAS is a much cheaper solution.

As for having more trains serve Roosevelt Island, well, they'll have to wait for more traffic to use the 63rd St Tunnel. In a real world of limited resources available for transit, there are a number of ways we can rank priorities. By any measure, giving people at Roosevelt Island seats on the train isn't one of them. More trains will serve the Roosevelt Island station once there's SAS running for a decent stretch south of 63rd St.

part of effective planning entails coming up with the right set of priorities and focusing on them until the job's done on time and on budget before turning to the next.
