Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Mar 11 10:23:53 2008, in response to Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction, posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Tue Mar 11 09:59:27 2008. Which is one big reason why if the super express is the Rockaway Line, I would be looking if monies can be found to do the construction to have it go through as noted before, a new tunnel that would have it stop on the north side of Roosevelt Island and then 79th Street and York-1st Avenues. The latter proposed stop in Manhattan is right in the middle of the population destiny zone where you have an 11-block gap on 2nd avenue between entrances, and this would be a station that would be very heavily used by those east of 2nd avenue who live a considerable distance from the 72nd or 83rd street entrances to the SAS.After 79th/York-1st, this new line I would have stop at 72nd/2nd (perhaps on a lower level) and then split off evenly into two branches, one joining the Q to 63rd/Lex and then Broadway, the other joining the T to at least Hanover Square. That to me might be the best use of a new Rockaway line that can then run at 24-30 tph peak on its own, leaving capacity on the 63rd street tunnel for future use at a later time. |
