Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Jan 27 19:57:44 2008, in response to Re: Supplementing Roosevelt Island, posted by Russ on Sun Jan 27 12:30:45 2008. As noted, that tunnel would be Phase 1 of 2 that would eventually have it go into Queens to create a new Super Express on Queens Blvd. that would terminate on the never previously used upper level of the Roosevelt Avenue Station. Such a line would perhaps have one other stop in Queens before continuing to Roosevelt Island and then as noted the one Upper East Side stop before joining the SAS.Also, 72nd Street is slated to be a three-track station anyway. What could be done there is the Roosevelt addition could come in on the far west track coming from Queens, while the T operates on what would be the middle track into the 72nd/2nd stop. That would allow for more trains per hour into that stop since the Q/Roosevelt Island train and T would be on separate tracks at 72/2nd going downtown. It is also why I would look at making 72/2 a four-track station since it would allow for such a connection more easily and also allow for later on having a lower level for express service on the SAS should that need ever arise, as well as 72/2 serving as a potential terminal if needed. |
