The modified track plan with the elimination of the three tracks north of the turn kinda blows the crap out of any flexibility to do something like that. :(

That shouldn't be a problem. However, it won't work for a different reason.

I agree with the cutback as it does save money, and all that it does is to eliminate a short-turn terminal at 72 St. Double crossovers at both ends of 72 St were, last that I heard, retained.

However, the major problem with opening part of the 2 Av Line is going to be the completion dates. First of all, the thing's running behind, like everything else that MTA Capital Construction touches. Second, you're probably going to have some northern segments done before the southern ones, which makes a scaled-back extension sooner impossible.
