Posted by R160 8818 on Thu Jan 31 20:18:54 2008, in response to Re: SAS Phase 4: Water Street/Nassau Street, posted by Russ on Thu Jan 31 20:10:38 2008. The Nassau Line is not superfluous according to Definition 1It is not needlessly or repetitive because they are on totally different alignments serving dissimilar purposes It does not pertain to any linguistic redundancy Def 4 is invalid because we are in America and also because both segments are not built yet so you can't say one is no longer needed because it was never materialized. We are talking about segments not electronics. We will get to electronics when we have to deal with lighting, the TBM or any necessary electrical works. As I said before, the lines serve dissimilar purposes. One will allow the users to get into Bensonhurst/Gravesend while the other just dead ends around a thousand feet from a transit hub (namely the SI Ferry Terminal). Even though the Water St segment may reach Staten Island or connect with the A, it will not be materialized provided that the MTA still keeps up with its fiscal problems. We just don't have enough money right now to dig ourselves another ditch to link with the unlinked-by-train borough of Staten Island. So while work is being done in the Upper East Side, we can always re-adjust plans so that riders could at least get on a one seat ride into Brooklyn. Please take into account that our ideas are generated assuming that the M will merge with the V line. |
