R68OnBroadway

Solution: 1.Rockaway runs normally 2. Pass me what you are smoking

Could they maybe store some trains at CI and run them up Brighton express after the ends so they have a second route to the rest of the B division? It would take longer, but it would have far less of an impact than sending the trains up 4th.

Given how crap weekend service is, I'm surprised the line past Rockaway (and especially RPK) even has ridership at all... should be rather telling that the ferry to Fulton Street is faster than a direct subway ride to that very same place...

What is the status on yard assignments and car deliveries?

They are probably sending it via Culver express after 4th.

Sea Beach riders can never get a break lol...

Not if you deinterline Rogers (which you would pretty much have to if you built Utica).

Because of the issues of QBL express going to only WTC and the being too long if it was a local.

Couldn’t you run the express and local by swapping their roles south of west 4th? (I’m not advocating for this, this is just a random thought I had).

I swear people are too obsessed with sending the into eastern Queens- furthest it should go with a new extension is QBP or Queensbridge...

Ha.

Would it be possible for them to add a small maintenance facility at Fresh Pond to free up some space at ENY?

An extension to 18th Av so the doesn’t have to deal with fumigating s would be great...

Given how underused it is and how much real estate costs in the West Village, why don't they convert the mezzanine at West 4th into a Turnstyle-like market?

The reason for that is to give the room to merge without delaying the .

Switches at 96th interlocking. While it is a PITA, I think it makes sense for them to shut it down for two weekends with alternatives rather than run poor service for tons of weekends (looking at the Jerome work).

And then this: https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/doctoroff-meola-station-stop-42nd-street-article-1.2357806 Looks like he should have thought of it earlier.

Do they do anything with it? I’d imagine it’s quite dilapidated now...

Suspended Franklin Av service is suspended in both directions because of a switch malfunction near Botanic Garden. Please see a station agent to receive a courtesy pass for continuing bus service. For alternate service, consider using nearby B48 bus service on Classon Av and Franklin Av. However, this bus line may become crowded, so also consider using nearby B43 bus service.

What happened to R33 9075?

I do think we should build more lanes, it just depends on where and how we enforce them. In Manhattan given the low car usage it makes sense to remove some parking for bike lanes. As for Brooklyn, it depends. For major thoroughfares where there is mass transit (like buses nearby), sure, but not so much private streets that are mainly residential. I'd also say that we should allow more bikes on sidewalks provided people aren't being reckless. The biggest issue however is enforcement- I'd say put cameras on the traffic lights at corners and ticket anyone who blocks the bike lane.

I am in no way saying drivers are at fault for every collision - the reason for me saying that was the matter of the statistics. So far about 19 people have been killed this year, and even if we assume only a fraction (say 25%) are the fault of the driver, that's still more than twice the number of cyclists-pedestrian deaths.

And how many bicyclists have been killed by cars? I understand what you are trying to state, but this is a pretty bad piece of evidence- its like citing Di Fara in an argument to lower business taxes...

The issue of yard access is overblown- the only reason why the stopped going to Astoria was because they didn’t want trains being layed up in relays and getting bombed out.

Their higher dwell times would cause issues given the crowds along the line... I still don’t understand why the has some 46s and the some 160s considering that with the exception of lower Manhattan commuters, most riders are only on for a few stops...
