Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Thu Sep 2 20:10:56 2010, in response to Re: SAS - Myopic MTA, posted by WillD on Thu Sep 2 00:06:41 2010. "Regardless of whether your opionion is right or wrong, it certainly seems, at least in my opinion, to have been formed with little or no input from what is actually transpiring. With the TBMs now in the ground it would cost the MTA a lot of money to cancel the contract to bore the tunnel up to 96th St. Once they reach 96th it should be relatively simple to rehabilitate the former cut and cover segments and complete the SAS up to around 110th. From there 125th shouldn't be all that hard. Cancelling the northern end of the line at this late in the gam would create (ironically enough given the thread title) a myopically shortsighted disaster of public finance."Agreed. At the very least, they need to get the 2nd Avenue line (as heavy rail subway) up to Lexington and 125th, especially given that much of the stretch of tunnels north of 96th is already there. Those tunnels shouldn't go to waste, given how close they are to the Phase 1 tunnels. I'm sure the Phase 2 stations would be well-used if built. |
