Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Oct 11 18:27:59 2009, in response to Re: Bergen Street Lower Level, posted by Grand Concourse on Sun Oct 11 17:31:59 2009. That is something I have suggested many times myself:As noted before, how I would do it would be to after 8th Avenue have the L make a diagonal jaunt to 10th Avenue, stopping first at 23rd Street (exits at 22nd, 23rd and 25th street). That would be a three-track station which would allow for short-turning both from Canarsie AND from 72/Broadway. The line north of that would be three tracks, allowing for a peak-direction express between 23rd and 72nd, with stops likely like this: 34th Street (Express, exits at 32nd and 34th and possibly 35th for the Javits Center) 42nd Street (Express, exits at 41st for a possible 7 transfer, 42nd and 44th) 52nd Street (Local, exits at 49th, 50th and 52nd Street) 66th Street-Amsterdam Avenue (Local, exits at 63rd and 66th Street) 72nd-Broadway (Last Stop, station would be under the existing 1/2/3 station at 72nd and Broadway with transfers to that line there along with a separate exit at 75th and Amsterdam in this scenario). |
