I wonder what percentage of all the posts in the 383 pages of this thread are just people being impatient waiting for updates.

@Trainmaster5 Do you know when the entrances at Eastern Parkway closed? Thanks.

I think I saw another image of a slant with a circular not in service bullet in a yard on nycsubway.org some time back.

My thought as well.

Another thing about this transfer is that it would reduce overcrowding at Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Avenue.

I posted about this some time back. There is a big missed opportunity with a new development going up right there.

Just add dedicated bus lanes for them.

I posted the link to the 5th Avenue presentation here: Here are some sides from the Main Street and Jay Street presentations: https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/jay-st-busway-tillary-st-livingston-st-cab-jul2020.pdf https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/main-st-flushing-busway-cab6-jun2020.pdf Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.23.51 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.24.11 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.24.16 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.24.23 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.24.28 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.24.35 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.24.42 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.24.50 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.24.58 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.25.16 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.25.25 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.25.31 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.25.48 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.25.55 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.26.12 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.26.29 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.26.36 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr Notice the epic fail here: Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 11.26.55 AM by Union Turnpike, on Flickr This is almost identical to my proposal from 2018, which I attached along with my essays for my successful college application.

@Via Garibaldi 8 The presentation for the meeting is on the NYCDOT website: https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/5th-ave-e57-st-e34-st-cab-jul2020.pdf

@Bill from Maspeth Thank you for the historical information which was very helpful in explaining the 5/3 set up.

This does look like Canal. Thanks for sharing the image! https://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?38892

Did my joke just go over your head?

Thank you once again for doing this exceptional work. This really struck me, but it is not surprising: Bus riders would much rather have crowded buses than have to wait 35-40 minutes. This is inexcusable. If this is the case, this would count as a major service change, and should have been brought to the MTA Board. They are really trying to ruin the Q49 to justify what they are doing in the Queens Bus Redesign. Color me surprised.

The next stop is 76th Street and Pitkin. Yes. I just did that.

Thank you. I really hope that Dems, if they take the Senate and Biden wins undoes one of the most damaging pieces of legislation in American history, the Taft-Hartley Act of 1946, which allowed states to pass right-to-work laws.

Concerning the first point, if you have no other choice but to make a living, I get it. But for those people here who have the luxury of working from home, or are young enough not to need a job, they should not be riding the train.

Most young people are not wearing masks. While they are less likely to get the worst symptoms, since they are more likely to "hang out" and see other people, they will get more people infected.

NY did not handle the situation well. Tens of thousands of deaths would not have happened had Cuomo shut things down earlier. He has blood on his hands.

COVID19 cases are going up around the country. You should not be out unless YOU HAVE TO BE OUT. Cases will go up in New York soon. Yes you can. Do you want more people killed? It is not a great sacrifice to stay home for longer to make sure vulnerable do not die.

No. It is delayed.

As much as I love R32s, and would do almost anything to ride them again, I am not railfanning due to the pandemic. I do not recommend that you guys go out fanning, for the safety of essential workers and train crews. Crowding at the front is not safe for anyone, and makes trains unnecessarily crowded. There is no way to railfan things like this and be socially distant. STAY HOME. STAY SAFE.

Where did you hear that? Never mind: https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-l-train-normal-service-covid-19-20200628-lntxyjbwdbhizky4sw5i6dbjgq-story.html
