"t least 72/2 is in the wrong place."Fo what, exactly? Read the thread. The point is that there would be more population dependent upon this station if it were in another location. I suggest you look at your maps and tell us where Cornell Medical Center is? Special Surgery? The associated cvhildren's hospital? Do you know how much those centers have grown? It's the neighborhood that matters for subway ridership far more than your pet business. There are businesses everywhere. Large institutions are particularly bad, as they tend to create massive ridership peaks between the place being a total desert. You should read Jane Jacobs, "The Economy of Cities", some time. It's often helpful to stop thinking about the trains and instead think about where people are going when they use them. That's exactly what you need to do. You should also step outside your little world that revolves around hospitals and invalids and reflect that most people are healthy most of the time. |
