Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Jan 22 01:54:23 2008, in response to Re: Second Roosevelt Island Station/Branch of SAS, posted by Michael549 on Tue Jan 22 01:20:27 2008. Actually:Given the issues on Queens Boulevard, it's something that does need to be explored. Yes, I did originally mention this as a terminal idea for Roosevelt Island, but this is also something that could be done to create some sort of a "Super Express" to Roosevelt Avenue, terminating at the built-but-never-used upper level platform there. Such a line could perhaps make one other stop in Queens (perhaps under the Astoria Line with a transfer to/from trains at one stop there) before then stopping at a northern Roosevelt Island station, then as noted a York-1st Avenue stop in Manhattan (76th or 79th Street) before briefly joining the SAS to stop at 72nd/2nd and then going with the Q to the west side (in this scenario most likely the N train would be such a line, with the W becoming the full-time Astoria line and the N and Q not having to cross tracks at all, speeding up service on the Broadway Line all over the place). Something is going to have to be done on Queens Blvd. at some point, and perhaps this is a potential solution to that problem. |
