Posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Tue Jan 22 15:34:42 2008, in response to Re: (R) Extension Idea, posted by R42 4787 on Tue Jan 22 15:04:51 2008. I know that, that's why the line wasn't following the bridge. I was thinking a new tunnel altogether.The S53 and S79 fail... During rush hours it takes 20-30 minutes to get down from 86th/4th to 92nd/BQE and then another 30 minutes to cross the Verrazono. That Staten Island part of the routes are ok, it's just the entire bridge and Brooklyn part that screws the routes up. The (R) line extension could be done in phases if anything. The tunnel from 95th to Ft. Wadsworth would be finished first and then continue from there. This would be a more realistic approach than my rather absurd idea of building a 5-mile long (1) train tunnel or what seems to be a failing attempt to get NJT, the Port Authority and the MTA to work together on a West Shore Light Rail Line to Bayonne. |
