The MTA isnt defining cut and cover.The MTA is defining HOW THEY WILL USE cut and cover ON THE SECOND AVENUE SUBWAY. Their definition is correct for the use it was given in, describing a specific situation Their definition is incorrect for tunnelling through a field, as well... SAS is not tunnelling through any fields so it is irrellevant. |

Ever stand near a subway grating? Embankments are quieter, unless you're talking deep bore subways. A sound barrier (maybe done up with some artsy murals on the side or some other BS) would suffice for both hiding the trains as well as muffling whatever traction sounds are made. |

Yes, there is something you(ok, not you, but other residents) could do about it. A politician will go with the majority. If the majority is opposed to this, then they will join the opposition. If the majority is FOR the line, then the politicians will join that side. It's just a matter of getting people to support the line. I wouldn't expect those directly along the line to support it, but I would expect other people in the neighborhood to. And you know what? Those people, are the majority. Now THAT is how politics work. |

And that's my point. Ownership of the ROW is intact as far as the City is concerned. Any encroachment is illegal and can be vacated or demolished. That's why I reject Ron's argument that it may have only room for one track in certain portions. While technically true, such encroachment can be ended tommorrow. (and at the "encroacher's" expense.) |

I don't think a QB line (be it the V or R) would be successful at replacing the A Express in Rock Park. It would be slow and hated. The dormant portion of the Rock on the other hand would bring lots of riders because they have nothing right now. I would switch the C and V at W4 then after Euclid the V would contine and turn north onto the existing Ozone Park viaduct via a new structure and continue on the ROW to a new tunnel at Whitepot Jct. connecting it to the local tracks at 63rd Rd. The V would run a circular route in both directions. Nothing would run nights as a concession to the NIMBYs. On weekends and holidays between Memorial and Labor Day the G would run express on the Culver from CI, then local on the QB to Rock Park using this route. The Beach to Beach route. |

You are advocating the destruction of a grade separated right of way and digging under it to create an open cut or cut and cover subway line. You're also for some completely unfathomable reason claiming that this would be the cheapest way to construct the line. Do you have any idea how batshit insane you sound?You have simply rolled over and accepted all the fallacies put out by the NIMBYs along the line. Second Avenue and the 50th St ventilation plant for ESA shows that the MTA is capable of fighting misinformation NIMBYs create, and if there were a concerted effort to build an LRT along the Rockaway Line right of way they'd readily be able to fight the NIMBY's pathetic obstruction of a line. For the most part the ROW is 50 feet wide, so it'd be extremely easy to build two LRT tracks, have a bike trail, and still build a line of tree to protect the NIMBYs from the horrible transit line driving their property prices up. The former double track sections of the ROW still have fairly large embankment areas where trees can be planted to keep the houses shielded from the trains. |

However, they are a minority when compared to the many people who are stuck riding cruddy busses across Queens, and as a minority they should not be allowed to dictate terms to the rest of the borough. Their position is somewhat mindboggling when you consider that an LRT built along the Rockaway Line would greatly increase their property value. Of course you've simply accepted their objections at face value, and in the absense of any response from the MTA or municipal government that's all that is out there. NIMBYs will always bitch, and the only way things will ever actually get done will be for those people who will benefit to override the much smaller group of people who may have their neighborhoods disrupted. In any event any disruption would be extremely minor since we're talking a grade separated right of way with room for trees to dampen noise, and an LRT built atop the ROW would have a fairly simple and quick construction period.Now, since somebody around here wants to destroy the embankment, and then dig down another 12 to 20 feet to build an open cut or cut and cover subway perhaps he could explain how that would be cheaper or less disruptive. |

They shoud depict AirTrain with the same color as the old JFK Express and perhaps bring back the airplane bullet on the map. They can find a different color for the full SAS T train when the time comes. I guess they don't want to give the PA such prominence though. |

" Part of the reason airTrain succeeded is that we were able to show that the NIMBYs were two dozen people whose views were out of step with the community. They were isolated then defeated. Along the Rockaway ROW, the NIMBYs are better organized and more powerful and morenumerous (but I am not saying they are a majority). So the effort to buy them off, isolate them, persuade them etc. is much, much tougher. Probably not surmountable because the "silent majority" has remained silent and will remain silent. sad but true. At least with LRT you don't have to deal with the issue of capacity to Manhattan. LIRR commuter rail service along the ROW would not be possible until ESA is completed in 2012 and possibly even later. But your LRT idea does not have that problem. |

While the homeowners immediatly adjacent to the line will undoubtly see their home values fall, those in the rest of the neighborhood would see theirs rise due to the vicinity (but not too close) to mass transit. I would not run trains at night as a fair concession to those would would literally hear trains running in their back yards. |
