Posted by trainsarefun on Tue Jan 29 12:01:13 2008, in response to Re: SAS: Water vs. Nassau Street and M-V Combo, posted by Wado MP73 on Tue Jan 29 11:05:38 2008. Chrystie St helps to afford Eastern Division riders direct 6th Av service; the way it works out, especially riders on the Myrtle Av branch of the ex-BMT Jamaica. But Chrystie St does little for making the Nassau St Line stations more useful.What if the Chrystie St cut also connected the Nassau St Line to the 6th Av Line? (So trains from Brooklyn via Montague St, or from Broad St terminal, could make all stops, to say, Bowery, and then Broadway-Lafayette St and all stops heading to Queens). Of course, given competition from the M/V proposal for the limited terminal capacity at Forest Hills under present operations, well, that's competition. Now, 6th Av trains could have direct access to Lower Manhattan without need to switch at Washington Sq, which has lots of consequences. Since there's a lot of inactive trackage in the area, construction mightn't affect current operations. Sure, given the current fiscal woes, we might not see this viable for a while, but it seems worth considering. |
