Exactly:It's the same reason why I would be looking at rebuilding the tracks leading to the as-present unused platform at Atlantic Avenue next to the one currently in service. While yes, it could screw up the CBTC on the Rockaway Parkway-Atlantic Avenue segment of the L, when that was planned and worked on, there was no way anybody could have realistically anticipated the massive growth in Brooklyn that now extends to Bushwick, which as noted is a big reason why the L has become as overcrowded as it is, and why what I would really want to do is if you can rebuild the tracks to the unused platform at Atlantic Avenue is during rush hours have L trains terminate there with a new K train that would replace the L from Rockaway Parkway-Atlantic Avenue before going via the Broadway Brooklyn line and replace the M in lower Manhattan and possibly to South Brooklyn (9th Avenue or Bay Parkway). It is also why the M-V combo would work, strengthening two lines as one that can operate 24/7 from Metropolitan to 71st-Continental, or 19/7 and during overnights from Metropolitan-West 4th. |
