Rapid Transit Extension To Northeast Bronx, N.Y. New York City Transit Authority October 1977

Posted by Union Tpke on Fri Jan 11 10:40:33 2019

With CUNY, you can get books sent from one CUNY library to your local CUNY. I picked this up, and I scanned all 291 pages, including maps, on January 11, which took five hours. I then took several hours to turn the jpgs to pdfs, and then turned them, very slowly into a few files. I then compressed them and combined them, which took a while. This document is for the NYCTA's planned extension of the Second Avenue Subway. The three options considered are having it serve Dyre Avenue and Pelham north of Hunts Point, Dyre Avenue and the Penn Central (Hell Gate Line) right-of-way, and Dyre Avenue and White Plains Road north of 180th Street. I haven't found this anywhere online. I hope this is an interesting and enlightening read. I hope this leads to an interesting discussion.

Amazing that they did this detailed a study at a point when the system was practically dying.

Amazing detail.

One think you learn is how much more rapid the rapid transit was back then. For instance, the schedule run times for the 6 express and local during am rush from Parkchester to Grand Central were :

Express - 30 min.
Local - 36 min.

Today's scheduled runs are:

Express - 36 min.
Local - 40 min.

wow!! Many thanks (!!) for taking the time to download and prepare this document to make it accessible for everyone to read! Awesome job!!

This is just what it's about, posting/ sharing local transit planning and history sources, to stimulate discussion amongst a large group of interested and informed individuals (namely, all of us Subchatters)

there are ways to pull out the most amazing PDF files by using "document" in a search query. and random somewhat related terms don't hurt either.

look at what comes up with local elevated document transit new jersey.

One of the things the document mentions is that there will be no express service on the Wh Pl Rd Line S/O E 180s St. I see no reason why that cant be the case since 5s can run exp as they do now and the 3 tk E 180 terminal can be operated similar to Main St/Flushing.
