Posted by WillD on Mon Nov 30 21:02:39 2009, in response to Re: 1 train to New Lots next summer, posted by Terrapin Station on Mon Nov 30 09:54:37 2009. Half a billion dollars on SF, 1.5 billion on the great glass egg. Hmm, two billion dollars they *had* spend on Lower Manhattan. And it'd be two miles from Hannover Square to Grand Street at around 750 million dollars per mile to build the SAS Phase IV under Water Street. For the amount we're spending on two old stations we could have extended the V train from 2nd Ave to Hannover Square and served three new stations. Hell, go with tail tracks arranged as four 600 foot tracks rather than two 1200 foot tracks then we could move the station 500-600 feet south to provide a connection to the eastern end of the Whitehall street mezzanine. Use the leftover money to pay off the folks around Sara Roosevelt Park off, build the shallow Chrystie alternative and enable later service off the Manhattan Bridge to the SAS, or from Hannover Square to points on the 6th and 8th Avenue lines. |
