Posted by Russ on Sun Jan 27 12:40:02 2008, in response to Re: New Transit Museum Facility, posted by BMTLines on Sun Jan 27 12:28:08 2008. t took 75+ years from when the SAS was first proposed to finally get the part above 60th street to the point where it might actually open. Do you really think there will be more construction any time in the next 75 - 100 years..... You are really optimistic.Let's look at what happened in those 75 years. a) Transportation infrastructure expansion was overwhelmingly biased against rail. b) Then New York's population shrunk. c) Global thinking about how to build cities changed d) Starting With Koch and Rohatyn, New York then began to get its house in order. So here we are today. No one will expand roads, and yet the population is booming. The SAS is being built because we now live in a different political environment. Yeah, I'm not being optimistic, I'm being realistic. Citing the last three-quarters of a century, without regard to trends, does not really qualify as an accurate interpretation of history, nor does it serve as a model to forecast future developments. |
