Again, lower montauk absolutely can not be turned over. Just about all LI rail freight operates via that line.There is an alternate route. And again, HELLLLLLL NO to taking over the Atlantic Av line west of Jamaica. Because it's bad to want to actually use the trackage instead of putting up with mostly the mostly empty 2 tph? You're destroying LIRRs capacity bit by bit. LIRR's capacity to do what, exactly? There's a 4-track Main Line, 2-track ESA, connection to HPA and LIC. LIRR commuters and everyone else is better off with cheaper, more frequent service that has higher ridership. Any why on earth would you eliminate the el between 121st and Broadway Junction? You mean make it a subway or get rid of J service there all together? It's the reason for the running time on the J route. Given that the proposal includes an alignment north thereof and south thereof, the el is rendered superfluous. |
