It would be built that way to allow transfers to the and on the 60th Street end and the and on the 63rd Street end. One thing I did note in my idea for a rebuilt 3rd Avenue EL would be where the biggest station on that line would be 60th-63rd Streets. I believe the planned station on the SAS is 55th Street to clear a number of things north of there, plus that station is supposed to have transfers to the and, so conceivably you can get off at the 55th Street station on the SAS to via the downtown platform 50th and Lexington without going outside. Chambers would still be better as it would allow riders to use SAS if an are too busy. The JZ riders will still have the way to transfer to the Financial District, they just have to do it at Bowery, not Chambers. ![]() If not feasible, I don't see it as being a critical failure since I would provide a transfer between Bowery and Grand V. I think that I would also prefer tying in north of Chambers, to provide direct SAS transfers to all that is over there. You really do need the Lower Manhattan transfers to make this work OK, because there are not that many in Midtown. It could mean EF along 53rd as the QBL expresses and MV along 63rd as the QBL locals with perhpas the addition of the G train on the QBL local to provide connections to Long Island City.Īnyway, once you are south of 57th, there aren't many feasible connections to trunk lines that are possible, and each provide somewhat of a walk. ![]() A lot of deinterlining, even in other parts of the system, would no longer be viable, unfortunately. Then the V train would be a Queens-2nd Ave service to fill in the gaps. I guess we'd still be stuck with and services on the Upper SAS that join in with. I think given the way the tracks turn from 2nd to 63rd, such a thing may not be possible. ![]() It may be a bit of a walk from SAS to the 63rd street line, though. Four separate station platforms, all linked by free transfers. It would link the 59th St station of, the Lex station on the 60th street line where 60th is the link from Astoria (and only Astoria) to the Broadway local, the Lex station on the 63rd street line but in my system 63rd is the link for most of the QBL local service to the 6th Ave local, and a 57th street station on the 2nd Ave line for SAS services. Call it Bloomingdale Square or somehting appropriate for the neighborhood. It wouldn’t be right to have to terminate the at Chambers without even a way to make a transfer continue south to Fulton and Broad.Ī dream of mine for the SAS, as well as part and parcel to a wider deinterlined system, would be a giant station complex in northeast Midtown. For 65 extra feet, it might not necessarily be a I’d like to tie SAS in between Canal and Chambers so there’s a connection to the and so that it facilitates transfers between the and T/V. Then, in light of said flooding, perhaps the MTA should consider a different Phase 4 alignment, one that’s not so far to the east and with so few transfers. What’s the remedy, out-of-system transfers? Please. For a multi-billion dollar project, I think we can do much better than that.īroad Street’s platforms appear to have quite a bit of space too.
