The current Transit Museum is perfect the way it is, with gallery display space, a movie theater and two tracks for equipment display. Also the downtown Brooklyn location is perfect since it is in a decommissioned actual station with actual tower.That's great until it is needed for revenue service again. The Transit Museum should stay right where it is and if the Rockaway Line needs extra service then takeover the abandoned Rockaway Line before the Rail 2 Trail freaks confiscate it. Run the (V) to the Rockaways or whatever. I don't see how that addresses future capacity needs to run trains between Fulton St and Manhattan. As far as the SAS goes, forget a tunnel to Brooklyn and terminate it at Chambers St. Plenty of subways, the Municipal Bldg. and City Hall to boot. Stopping short of the Lower Manhattan CBD is thoroughly inadequate. That's why the SAS will be built to Hanover Square. The real estate industry drives this city, as it has for over a hundred years, and that industry will see to it that the SAS goes to that CBD. After that, it probably goes to Brooklyn. Building a subway around the Transit Museum is case of the tail wagging the dog. |
