Posted by Eric B on Sat Jun 28 10:49:21 2008, in response to Re: Second Ave Alignment Change, posted by AEM-7AC #901 on Fri Jun 27 21:39:06 2008. Supposedly, once when I came up with the original idea for the "Water Street Subway", I was told that there would not be enough capacity for the V to run with the B & D to Grand Street. So, would there be any extra capacity for an extra service during peak hours on the 6th Ave Local?I wondered about that, and I was hoping we could at least have the terminal for weekends. That's when we needed it more than anything else. (Since it's just a shuttle over here now). Of course, weekends we could easily have the M/V combo (since the V would not need to run to Church Av then), and I've already put in a suggestion for that, but 72nd, would be much easier to start up from one end (to eliminate the problem of having to bring the ENY cars to the JYD end). There's always Astoria. Hell, maybe just for fun, they could build a mini-spur into Rego Park off the Queens Local and the provisions near 63rd Drive... But the problem is, if the 6th Av side is closed, and all the service is on Bway, then you already have the N and W at Astoria (just like now. The only difference is that the W would be extended to Bklyn, of course). So that is out. Though again; I'm talking about way down the line, when Phase 3 is completed; with both the Q and T running. And who knows; by the time that is completed, the just completed rebuilding of the Manhattan Bridge might have worn old, and new rounds of repairs needed. |
