I walked there more than a thousand times... Seeing as I live in Lower Manhattan, I have. Also, I backed up my statement with a metric. It is just over 700' away. If you disagree, you might want to provide a more compelling argument. First of all, the Nassau St Line has 4 tracks between Bowery and Chambers of which a pair is currently disused. And that's why this alignment does not work. The 4 tracks are only between those stations. Which brings me back to my point that neither you, nor anyone else who advocates the Nassau St alignment will address. As a Nassau St alignment approaches Brooklyn, the capacity shrinks. It first shrinks when it moves south of Chambers. It shrinks again when it merges with the R at the Montague St Tunnel. It forces at least one route to terminate outside of the Financial District The Nassau link will ease the Lex from Bowling Green to hopefully 125. Well the FEIS says that a Water St alignment will provide greater relief. Do you have any proof that this is not correct? Phase 4 sidetracks after Houston and bypasses the financial core in doing that. Water St. is in the Financial District. Did you ever wonder what those 50 story office buildings to the east - that's right, east - of Water St. are? They are overwhelmingly occupied by the financial services sector. |
