Posted by Wallyhorse on Thu Feb 14 06:16:47 2008, in response to Re: SAS to Brooklyn via Water Street, posted by Russ on Wed Feb 13 13:48:51 2008. Some good points there:If it is feasible to build to tunnel as you suggested with some of the new lower levels as you also suggested, then it would be worth it. It doesn't mean the Nassau Street connection should not also be built, it should be done so if at all possible in addition to allow for greater flexibility and changing conditions (and also allow for example if there is a MAJOR G.O. on the Broadway Line, R and Q trains for instance to be diverted to the 2nd avenue line through Nassau Street and to the Brooklyn via Montague, providing less of a disrutption if that happened). That said, your idea of a new tunnel is similar to mine with a Court Street stop, whether its your new station or using the current Transit Museum Court Street station for that purpose. Having new lower levels at Hoyt-Schermerhorn and Pacific Street before heading on some route to Staten Island is a very good idea as well if it is feasible, perhaps such of a lower level can serve as a super express after Pacific Street via 4th Avenue to 59th Street (island platform with two tracks under the existing tracks at Pacific and 59th), and from there to Staten Island in some manner. That could possibly work as well. |
