Posted by Concourse Express on Sat Dec 26 16:42:03 2009, in response to Future expansion wish list?, posted by rbseabeach on Wed Dec 23 13:49:32 2009. I guess I'll chime in:An expansion of the Grand Boulevard and Concourse Subway from three tracks to four tracks, with 161 St - Yankee Stadium converted to an express stop. The (B) would run via local and terminate at Bedford Park Blvd, while the (D) runs via express and is extended eastward via Burke Ave, Gun Hill Rd, and Bartow Ave to a new terminal at Bay Plaza. The extension features four new stations: Burke Ave (connection to (2) train), Boston Rd (connection to W60/W61 buses), Seymour Ave (connection to (5) train and Bx31 bus), and Baychester Ave - Bay Plaza. The combined expansion and extension of the Concourse Line will ensure complete renovation of the entire line, plus stimulation of demand by way of the (D) extension, combined (B)/(D) service on Concourse, and connection to various local buses; the connection to the (5) at Seymour Ave may also lure some express bus riders onto the subway. *** Regarding SAS, I also believe a branch via 3rd Ave in The Bronx to Fordham Plaza should be built. |
