The Water St alignment wasn't built back then BECAUSE they chose the pre-existing Manny B tracks instead. They chose redundancy over serving new areas because post-Chrystie the Manny B tracks would take all riders into Midtown. I don't disagree with that decision because it's more efficient then the previous BMT service just like a connection to the BMT Nassau Line initially in place of Water St would be more efficient and connect Nassau St to the entire length of Manhattan. Current (M) riders in Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan could take the (T) all the way to Harlem. People that currently don't take the (M) because it doesn't go above Delancey would instead have a service that does. |
