As said before on this:

If we were to have such a line, I think that would serve better as an elevated line that perhaps could in turn be extended into Queens via a new, rail-only bridge that perhaps could become the Queens Super Express, first stopping above ground with connections to the E/G/V/7 at 23rd/Ely/Court Square and then going non-stop to a terminal using the never-used upper level of Roosevelt Avenue (with tracks that also would lead to the Jamaica Yards).

On the Manhattan side, the stops would be 1st-2nd Avenues, Park-Madison Avenues (MetroCard transfer to the 6), Broadway-7th Avenues (MetroCard transfers to the B/D/F/N/Q/R/W/V/1/2/3) and 8th-9th Avenues (MetroCard transfers to the A/C/E) before at 10th Avenue turning and becoming a 10th Avenue El that would stop at 39th-42nd Street (including a transfer to the 7 if there is a stop at 41st/10th on that line), 50th-53rd Streets, 62nd-65th Street and a terminal at 72nd Street/Broadway and a transfer to the 1/2/3 there.

The likelyhood of that isn't much, but to me is the best way of doing a 34th Street crosstown.
