IRT\|IND Park Avenue Line
Posted by Spider-Pig on Tue May 21 14:08:23 2019 Metropolitan transportation, a program for action. Report to Nelson A. Rockefeller, Governor of New York. Third Avenue Elevated Replacement $95 The Third Avenue elevated is a slow, obsolete, blighting structure, much of it built before the turn of the century. The present service is a shuttle operation which is unsatisfactory, requiring an inconvenient transfer at 149th Street. The Third Avenue elevated will be replaced with a modern rapid transit line with through service to Manhattan. It is recommended that this be done by constructing extra trackage adjacent to the Penn Central Railroad on Park Avenue. The replacement transit route could connect with either the new Second Avenue subway or the existing IRT subway. Efforts should be undertaken to coordinate this replacement with a renewal program to improve the environment of the Third Avenue-Park Avenue corridor. This might include covering over the exposed railroad cut. The renewal program will require separate financing. So here goes: Is there actually room for two additional tracks on the MN ROW?

Park Ave is much more than 4 tracks wide. South of 59th, no, because the railroad expands to use more and more space, and actually extends well into mid block.

In this case,the TA was going to do one of two things. Build an line above the cut...or use two of the tracks for local service. They would have been better off just rebuilding the elevated structure @bove 3rd Avenue proper.

Why else would I have given the response I did?

By the way, might there not be the possibility of ripping out Park Ave (Bronx) completely, thus easily making room for 6 tracks, then decking over the whole thing and putting a new Park Ave. on top of the decking?
