Actually..all four tracks can be used..if the MTA wanted.A earlier plan from the original Chrystie st days had ALL tracks from Chambers st thur running to Essex st[the walls from the Bridge line was reconfigured back to the original trackways] Shoe horning the SAS line into this mess would be complicated,to say the least..but it is not impossible to do according to the MTA.. They CHOSE not to built this connection due to the so call disruption it would cause..which I find particular funny..since construction of ANY SUBWAY project causes SOME discomfort to the neighborhood it transverses. Take a look at the current SAS project being built.. Instead of going with cut and cover..they went with a much more destructive method..deep bore.. With DEEP BORE..you have to take MORE PROPERTY..whole parcels of land to build WHOLE BUILDINGS to VENT the subway..which drives up the cost of the project overall. Im not surprise at this in any case..someones making money on this thing..and its NOT THE RIDERS. |
