Posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Sun Jan 27 21:21:56 2008, in response to Re: SAS to Brooklyn/Staten Island, posted by trainsarefun on Sun Jan 27 20:47:54 2008. Have you been following any of our discussions over the past 2 years?Firstly, it seems that you've forgotten that Staten Island is a borough of New York City just like the rest. Staten Island has ever increasing traffic and transit dilemmas that can't be solved until a rail connection is built. Staten Island also has the most pollution in NYC...and just about thee longest transit/traffic commutes in America. Staten Island then has the most potential for growth out of the 5 boroughs and a rail connection would do just that. As right now, there are no skyscrapers or any of the liking here. A rail connection to St. George would have the same effect that the HBLR did to Jersey City/Pavonia-Newport. The tallest buildings we have on SI are the projects in all reality. When the (T) line is finally running, it would be fully automated by CBTC meaning that the large spacing would have no effect on the line, just like BART's 4-mile long Transbay Tunnel that is shared by 4 different automated lines. |
