Absolutely:The (C) also would solve this problem as well, especially since having it and the (V) switch off at West 4th also would have several side benefits: 1. Giving riders on BOTH the Culver and Fulton Street lines the option (from Church Avenue northward on the Culver Line and from Euclid Avenue northward on the Fulton Street Line) of either a 6th or 8th avenue train at express stops, and at worst either a cross or same platform transfer between the 6th and 8th avenue lines along the way. That would I think offset any objections from Park Slope residents that would still have their one-seat ride into Manhattan, albeit via the 8th avenue line. 2. Giving midtown riders a new option: A one-seat ride on the 6th Avenue line (V) to the finacial district without having to change trains at West 4th. That would be welcome by many, especially at 53rd/Lex who may be going to the WTC area that want to take the E/V there, since both would now go to that area as opposed to only the E at present. The only significant changes are the C would become a 24/7 line, which would have the side benefit of the A being express in Manhattan at all times, while the V would become a 19/7 line, only not operating during overnights (the A would still be local in Brooklyn during overnights). |
