I agree that the city needs to be well-covered by the subway (of service to NE Queens would have been covered by my idea).But I do think that the 7 suffers from terrible overcrowding with a lot of it coming at the very first stop. It needs relief. Perhaps that relief can come in the form of a rush-hour LIRR service that can short-turn somewhere in Queens and operate in addition to the existing PW service. The Murray Hill station has space between the two tracks. Perhaps a turn-back track can constructed there so trains can terminate at Flushing and relay on that track. What I would really like to see, though, is for Murray Hill (or possibly Broadway which is elevated over a wide space) to be rebuilt into a three-track station with a pocket track for this "7 relief" service. It could even be operated into Grand Central terminal as part of the LIRR ESA services. "As for SI, you don't think the north shore SIRT should be rebuilt?" Of course I do. I just think it and the existing south shore SIRT should go beyond St. George and into Manhattan. |
