Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Oct 11 14:14:46 2009, in response to Re: Bergen Street Lower Level, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Oct 11 13:47:16 2009. As noted elsewhere:I would have the C and V switch lines south of West 4th, with the C (and the G as well) replacing the F as the Culver Local while the F goes express between Jay Street-Church Avenue, including stopping at a reopened lower level of Bergen Street. I suspect Park Slope riders would not object to having the C replace the F as the Culver Local because they still would have their one-seat ride to Manhattan, the only difference being it would be via the 8th Avenue Line instead of 6th Avenue (except at the 7th Avenue stop, where riders would have the choice of either 6th or 8th Avenue service). That I suspect would work because I'm sure a good number of Park Slope riders as it is have to transfer at either Jay or West 4th to the 8th Avenue Line, so this change would eliminate that transfer for those going to points north of West 4th on 8th Avenue while for others who use 6th avenue all the way through, unless they are going north of West 4th on the 6th Avenue line, their situation is unchanged (and for those who do, they have at worst a cross or same-platform transfer they can make at 7th Avenue, Jay or Broadway-Lafayette). Since as part of this the V would replace the C as the Fulton Local, the major side benefit of that change is that 6th Avenue riders would now have a one-seat ride of their own to the financial district. This would be huge at Lex/53rd, a station notorious for its being overcrowded as riders for the financial district coming from Midtown on the East Side now would have two trains stopping at Lex/53rd instead of the current one. |
