A dictator wasn't required so much as a realistic expansion plan towards a rational goal.

The goal Paris adopted was that every building be within 300 meters of a subway entrance. Its expansion after the first two successful lines was directed towards achieving that goal.

I would guess that the original residents are largely gone. It would be less disruptive to pop out at East New York Avenue than Kings Highway, but you could use a Big Dig style arrangement with slurry walls and get it done pretty fast.

I am sure you understand that each branch of the MTA is a kingdom. Something as simple as a CityTicket with a free subway transfer can be done largely with software, but it would require the commuter rails to share revenue. It would take a dictator (as opposed to money) to make this happen.

I'd be happiest to see a full Utica Av subway going all the way up to Broadway. Even if it didn't go into Manhattan, you have a connection available to the Fulton St and J/M/Z services. The dream is that it would go all the way up to the S4th stop and through a new tunnel to Houston St, but I'm not quite sure 6th Av can handle another local service. Aren't S4th and Fulton St stations already built?

This track connection was only between LIRR tracks 5 and 6 and the NB 7th Ave. IRT tracks. It was never used in revenue service and is now completely covered with the Atlantic Terminal's new construction.

There is no easy way to connect the SB IRT with the LIRR at this point.

And the 7 extension made economic sense.

The 7 extension was a colossal waste of money because rail service could have been provided for 10% of the cost.

A station could have been built within the rail yard before it was covered over. This would have been relatively cheap, about $100 million. Service would have been provided by an LIRR shuttle between this station and rarely used track 21 in Penn Sta. Fare collection would be by Metrocard at the rail yard station. There would be fare collection for entering and leaving like SIRT at St. George.

Leaving aside for the moment the totalcost, while you may be correct that such a shuttle could have been implemented on the cheap, connecting tothe general subway network is muchmore useful over the long run. next up should be infilling the unbuilt station and extending the 7 south into Chelsea.

As to DeBlasio's ideas, someone should send him the Triboro RX plan. That should be possible at relatively low cost to implement while facilitating multiple crosstown connections. If the version is built including Hell Gate we get even more useful connectivity.

One thing I did post about not too long ago elsewhere was an extension of the (N) into the Bronx. continuing past its current terminal at Ditmars across 31st Street in Queens and across to Rikers Island before going to The Bronx (via two new bridges as elevated) with new stops as follows:

20th Avenue (Queens)
Hillside Avenue-Rikers Island
Food Service Drive

This then goes underground after Food Service Drive with stops as follows:

Spofford Avenue-Hunts Point Food Market
Westchester Avenue (Elder Avenue, Transfer to 6)
East 180th Street (Transfer to 2/5)
Neill Avenue-Williams Bridge Road
Wilson Avenue-Pelham Parkway (Jacobi Medical Center), where it terminates.

As part of this, new OOS transfers would be in place between Queens Plaza and Queensboro Plaza AND between 36th Street on the QB Line and 36th Avenue on the Astoria Line so those on the QB line looking to go to the Bronx can do that without having to go through Manhattan.

This to me would serve untapped potential ridership of those looking for The Bronx from Queens.

And yet, this would probably be the best reason to build a single deep bore tunnel capable of holding two tracks to avoid dealing with the issues of the street grid above. It's how the Germans avoided the need to rip up the Altstadt of Koeln for the Nord-Sud-Stadtbahn.

I have a better idea. Since Utica Ave is wide and not particularly congested build a light rail at street level between Kings Plaza and Fulton or Broadway. Make the transfers easy where it crosses the subway. Have it run to Broadway/Myrtle and make the transfer to the J/M/Z an easy one, with extended express hours into Manhattan in the am and from Manhattan in the PM. (I'm not familiar with Malcom X blvd, so I don't know how wide that is.)

Much cheaper, and just as likely to get built. IOW, not likely at all.

the general subway network is much more useful over the long run. next up should be infilling the unbuilt station and extending the 7 south into Chelsea

Chelsea is already within 1/2 mile of existing 8th Ave service. The only portion of the West Side not within 1/2 mile of an existing 8th Ave station are points west of 11th Ave. That's 1 avenue block between 11th Ave and the Hudson River.

Manhattan starts coming to a point at the Battery starting at 23rd St. The Hudson River is within 1/2 mile of existing subway stations south of 20th St.

As I noted in an earlier post, providing services to where none exist should be the goal - not duplicating existing services.

Can you be specific. Please name that route.

The problem with giving people new cars is that society's cost far exceeds the initial purchase price. Cars need road and parking space. Those are two commodities in short supply. Cars are also space hogs. A pedestrian or public transit rider occupies about 5 sq ft. A bicycle rider about 14 sq ft. A private car driver about 105 sq ft.

Bike share services provide convenient parking at both ends of a journey. That's their advantage over using a personal bike for short utility trips.

I just find this whole bike thing v.rs rail or whatever is too silly to take seriously.

The Boynton bicycle railroad is not making a comeback. :=) Bike share provides a solution to the last/first mile problem. It's cheaper and faster than a bus or taxi ride. Bike share's major operational challenge has been restocking bikes at major transit hubs like Penn Sta, PABT and Grand Central.

There are very few residents who live along Utica Avenue south of Kings Highway. And the businesses that are there are mostly the kind that would suffer no detriment from having an el in front. The exception is south of Avenue M, there are some homes and walkups, and the entire east side of the street between O and Fillmore is entirely residential, but that is so few people that they can be bought off.

The LIRR off-peak is practically empty weekday mornings from Atlantic Ave to Jamaica since most people can't afford the off-peak fares. Meanwhile the J train at East New York is overcrowded with people who ride all the way through to Sutphin and Parsons. The vast majority of customers know the LIRR exists, but can't afford it.

The mayor knows what he's talking about. I'd use it all the time if it accepted my Unlimited Metrocard. Until then, there's the G to the E, or the A/C to the J.

The only portion of the West Side not within 1/2 mile of an existing 8th Ave station are points west of 11th Ave.

Your mileage measurer consistently understates. 11th Ave and 19th street is a 0.8 mile walk to an 8th Ave subway station.

That doesn't make your argument inherently wrong, but trying to support it with bad evidence doesn't help.

"extended express hours"?

The only time there is no express on Broadway is the short half hour window around 1:30 where J3-4 switches direction.

Perhaps... but since the DOT installed bike docks all over the place for That exact purpose... OWNING your bike makes better sense... and cheaper in the long run.

This isn't some blowing smoke in the air,its first hand experience out of curiosity, that my wife and I gave it a go. After the trial run,it was decided to purchase our own simply because of the reasons implied.
I have no issues with the system itself,if it works for those who USE it...but the novelty has worn off...as reported by NY1 news...causing our former MTA chairman to beg for a cash infusion "to spruce up the equipment"...

That's right..attack Me,instead of the issue.

Just so you know...I own several homes...two in Brooklyn, one upstate NY,where,mind you I once lived for years...in a suburban setting.

Though I need no justification,My love and passion for a more Urban setting has more to do with my work ,my ability to serve those in dire straits,such as homeless families or prevention of homelessness, and or child services.. parenting..mental health ,drug abuse and so on.

Once again,you have no clue about what's going on, yet feel the need to be the Asshole of Subchat.

By the way,how's that case working out for you_?

Not commenting on your opinion here, but the original carpetbaggers were HEROES who came down south, despite the danger from violent, slavery-loving reactionaries, to rebuild the South and crush the southern spirit. Too bad they failed.
