Posted by R160 8818 on Tue Jan 29 12:02:07 2008, in response to SAS: Water vs. Nassau Street and M-V Combo, posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Jan 29 07:47:30 2008. I believe the SAS-Nassau connection will work best.First of all, in the current plan for Phase 3 (the installment of the T), the train will terminate at Houston Street with a transfer to the F. The F does not go into Downtown Manhattan, but rather the Lower East Side. A connection connecting the tracks to the Nassau tracks will prove sufficient and favorable as riders are directed to Downtown via the Nassau St Line stopping at Canal, Chambers, Fulton and Broad. There are many transfer options at Canal and Fulton. Finally, it could replace the M south of Chambers. Instead of just following the M route, it has many possibilities. It can terminate at 9th Ave, Bay Parkway, Brighton Beach, Coney Island (via West End), Coney Island (via Sea beach) etc... There are a lot of possibilities once past the Montague tunnel. As Wallyhorse said earlier, the original idea of the SAS was to reduce pressure on the Lex lines. By following the J/Z route, it is paralleled to the Lex line all the way to Broad Street. Phase 4 will not be as attractive, but is still needed. However it only provides a transfer option at Grand Street to the D which takes riders to Brooklyn and not Downtown. Seaport and Hanover Sq may be a stone's throw from existing subway stations, but no transfer options are made at this point. As a side note, could the platforms at Bowery, Canal, Chambers, Fulton and Broad we extended 120 feet so that 10 car trains could run? |
