Posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Jan 22 16:20:59 2008, in response to (R) Extension Idea, posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Tue Jan 22 14:54:06 2008. You DO NOT WANT to extend the (R) train to Staten Island whatever you do.I have examined time tables, etc and have determined that that routing would TAKE LONGER than using the Ferry. LION has recommended using LRV on the bridge. Usurp one lane in each direction, then run it via the BQE ROW, probably on a new level, then may hap through the BBT via shared access with at traffic lane. As long as the LRV was non-stop in Brooklyn and on its own ROW it would be faster than the boat. Otherwise it would not be so. Realistically, this connection (yours or mine) to SI is a non-starter. A six mile tunnel from SF *is* a good plan, but this too will not happen, nor is it on my short list of transit dreams. ROAR |
