Re: Subway to Staten Island by way of St. George |

Posted by Russ on Tue Jan 22 17:43:05 2008, in response to (R) Extension Idea, posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Tue Jan 22 14:54:06 2008. If subway service is finally extended to Staten Island via the R, Staten island's CBD, will be bypassed. If you look at the below map, which is guaranteed to have boundary errors, you'll see CBDs represented by colored areas.View Larger Map While St. George is not today a significant CBD, it is in the best interest of everyone for it to become so. Subway service to Staten Island should enter St George. This will stimulate development in an area equipped to handle growth. In addition, great efficiencies can also be achieved if the SIR becomes part of the subway system. This would get a lot of cars and busses off of the road, and improve the quality of life in Staten Island. |
