Posted by Russ on Wed Jan 30 20:50:47 2008, in response to Re: SAS Phase 4: Water Street/Nassau Street, posted by R160 8818 on Wed Jan 30 20:21:13 2008. Water Street is superior because it allows the SAS to add capacity to the system as it moves into the Financial District, instead of forcing other lines to terminate outside of it.Water Street is superior because, according to the FEIS, it will provide more relief for the Lex than the Nassau St alignment. Water Street is superior because all SAS trains will be able to eventually leave Manhattan for Brooklyn and/or Staten Island, while the Nassau St alignment will only allow 20tph worth of trains to do so. Water Street is superior because no fun surprises will pop up that require construction to stop while archeologists play for a few years. And if transfer options are important, the Seaport Station could be connected to Fulton St by an underground pedestrian tunnel, somewhat like the one between 7th and 8th Avenues on 42nd St. And Hanover Square is close to South Ferry. I actually took the time to look at an MTA map of where the station, and its exits will be before I made that statement. |
