At all events, a NYC operation should serve a major trip generator in Queens - Queensborough Community College - instead of running across the wilds of Creedmoor Mental Hospital in order to get to Lake Success. We have much evidence that college students use transit for their trips; not much evidence that transit will garner much share of the Lake Success trips. Also, the civic groups in Lake Success will scream bloody murder if you bring them the subway."Which would generate more trips, St Johns and Lake Success combined, or Queensborough Community College? I'm not throwing Queens College into the mix b/c both of our ideas would serve the school IINM. And NIMBYs will scream bloody murder anywhere over anything. An el over the LIE is not going to be much of a NIMBY problem, especially on the section between Queens Blvd and Van Wyck, which is where the line would be elevated. Just look at the LIE in that area. As for the LIMP ROW, I'm talking about using the section between the Clearview and the GCP. Take a look on google maps satellite view, the ROW has a lot of space between it and homes. There definitely is a space issue from Winfield to the west, not sure how that would be overcome other than TBM. |
