Assuming both the Nassau Street connection and Water Street segments are built,Why would you assume that? $4 billion for one, and $4 billion for the other. For that money, Water St and a tunnel to Brooklyn could probably be built. In addition, why would the MTA spend $4 billion on a redundant alignment when other parts of the city need subways? Are we to ignore the needs of SE Queens? Forget ever building a subway to Staten Island? What about MTA projects outside of the City? A new Tappan Zee bridge is more important than a second redundant Lower Manhattan alignment for the SAS. The idea that an SAS Nassau St connection and a Water St alignment will both be built in our lifetimes, with out some breakthrough in construction techniques, completely ignores all economic realties. |
