Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Mar 9 11:42:00 2008, in response to Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction, posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Sun Mar 9 10:05:36 2008. 66th Avenue - Fleet Street = Whitlock Avenue (Pelham)I can't comment don't know those areas. Metropolitan Avenue = Metropolitan Avenue (Myrtle) Absolutely not, Metropolitan Ave in middle Village is in the middle of no where. People can only either walk or take the bus to that location, you can't even park anywhere near there if you wanted to. You have a hard time even dropping off people in front, as it's a traffic lane in front of the place (very congested traffic wise), and you can't just stop there. Myrtle Avenue = Bushwick Avenue / Aberdeen Street (14-Canarsie) Absolutely not, Bushwick-Aberdeen is even more desolate than Metropolitan on the M. Jamaica Avenue = 104 Street (Jamaica) Perhaps. Atlantic Avenue = 104 Street (Jamaica) Perhaps, but 104th St is less density I believe. 101st Avenue = 104 Street (Jamaica) Perhaps, but 104 St is less density I believe. Liberty Avenue - Rockaway Blvd = Forest Avenue (Myrtle) I am very familiar with Forest on the M. I am not as familiar with Liberty Ave there, however, having lived near Forest on the M (which was once my home station), I often walked to Myrtle and Wyckoff as the M isn't a convenient line if you need most locations in Manhattan. So the L takes away a lot of the M's potential ridership. The M isn't as desirable because of where it goes in Manhattan. Liberty would have good Midtown access, and you don't have an alternative route like you do not far from Forest Ave. |
