Posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Wed Jun 25 22:28:20 2008, in response to Re: M.T.A. Cuts Delay Some Big Projects Until 2010, posted by trainsarefun on Wed Jun 25 21:56:48 2008. Lots of projects are 'nice'. But few are really essential.I've always wondered if NYCTA should have simply gone for smaller one to two station extensions as part of a larger plan instead of going for big large projects. I am not a project manager or civil engineer by trade, but I wonder if due to the high cost of the SAS, would it have been prudent to simply build each chunk of SAS, station by station. In other words, should we have instead of abandoning the project entirely in the 70s, simply regrouped to build a small segment to 72nd Street when 63rd Street opened in '88, then to 86th Street, and so on so forth as funding and engineering realities allow for? Would a similar approach have worked for the smaller cute projects that I listed? I'll leave that to those who are more competent in the field. Just no loops through Alphabet City, please.... The tunnel would in some point in the future extend into Brooklyn to some unused shell station above a lightly used G train stop in Williamsburg... |
