Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Fri Dec 25 23:19:59 2009, in response to Re: Future expansion wish list?, posted by NIMBYkiller on Fri Dec 25 20:25:51 2009. "For NEC, why not just do that with MN to NYP? Much less costly and probably effective enough."Are you suggesting running Metro-North service to Dyre Avenue? This is not meant to be a commuter service on the NEC. It's only a subway line sharing the NEC right-of-way for a short portion of its route. It's similar to how WMATA's Orange Line shares the NEC from New Carrollton to Cheverly, MD. Would you also suggest replacing Metrorail service there with additional MARC commuter rail service? It's much less costly. "NO SUBWAY TAKE OVER OF PW LINE!!!!!! No no and HELL NO! There's zero reason for it. The PW line doesn't need it for sure and you eliminate the entire north west Nassau County and northern Queens connection to regional services at NYP." Did you really need to use six exclamation points when one would have done just fine? Stop shouting and find a better, more mature way to express your disagreement. IT'S JUST A WISH LIST! Don't take it so seriously. Nobody's getting rid of LIRR service to PW tomorrow! Second of all, are most PW riders transferring to other commuter rail services when they get to Penn Station? Or are they transferring to the subway to get to jobs elsewhere in Manhattan? I think it's the second option. "Just leave SI alone with 2 rail lines and improved bus service to the ferry and have express buses to midtown ONLY (anyone going downtown can catch the ferry), and HBLR." Agree about HBLR. Disagree with the rest. |
