Lower density?That's why I preferred by deep bored solution since it can aim for the slighly denser locations like Kew Gardens Hills, Pomonok, Fresh Meadows, Oakland Gardens, and Glen Oaks, and with limited station stops, it can avoid the cost of building stations, angering NIMBYs, and keep average speeds high. LIE light rail As a cheaper compromise, it probably holds some promise, but obviously, I prefer my idea. Coincidentally, much of that stretch of the LIE hasn't been reconstructed yet, so if we work now with NYSDOT, it may be feasible to squeeze the line into any potential reconstruction of that stretch. Sadly, North Shore Towers will remain an awful figure of earlier planning to dump several large high-rise towers in an area sans transit... |
