Posted by SMAZ on Mon Feb 4 01:21:07 2008, in response to Re: SAS Phase 4: Water Street, posted by Russ on Sun Feb 3 19:39:30 2008. 1)There are no provisions for building a terminal in Chatham Sq.There aren't any provision for anything yet at Chatham Sq since it's not there. Provisions can be put into the plan for Phase III or IV. 2)Terminating trains that never go through the Financial District is a political non-starter, which leads us to... The (T) would go thru the heart of the Financial District making the plan all the more attractive. 3)It is highly improbable that any such funding will ever materialize As I explained, the cost of such a connection would be a fraction of a full Water St Line. 4)Finally, the need to construct additional terminal capacity with a Nassau St alignment clearly illustrates the shrinking capacity problem of it as it approaches, and then moves south of, the Financial District. As I repeatedly have pointed out, the (T) would be replacing the (M). If anything the current line would lose trains from The Bowery to Chambers. If the Nassau Line can handle the (J/Z/M) to Broad St, it can handle a 10-12 TPH (T) plus the (J/Z). The (T) plus the (R) would fit handily in the Montague St Tunnel and beyond. That said THE GIANTS RULE THE UNIVERSE!!!! |
