Ok, advice taken. I’ll change the map. EDIT: Map changed Also, this is an SBS route, not express. 20 buses could work, as that would be the 12 Q70 buses and 8 of the other LGA XD40s No, I just thought that a JFK-LGA-Manhattan route could work. Evidently not.

Maybe not. The runs from Hanover Sq to 96, crossing at Randalls Island, then N Queens Exp to Flushing, then down the Whitestone Branch to Fort Totten. The runs from Abingdon Sq, then up 10 Av, through Riverside South, crosstown on 79, 79 Tunnel, up 21st to Ditmars, and then N Queens Local to Flushing, then down the Bayside Branch to Bayside. The runs from Hanover Sq to 72 St, crossing at 79, then via Northern to Flushing. runs from 69 St-Northern to LGA weekdays only. Use late nights and weekends. The runs up 21 St to 63 St, then up 63/2nd to 125th, then 125th Crosstown. The (rerouted to Ditmars) goes via N Queens Exp to LGA, terminating at Flushing. The goes via Randalls Island, then up 2 Av to 125 St, then with the to Throgs Neck. That’s the basis of my plan. Thoughts @KK 6 Ave Local?

NO STOPS between: Chambers St and Bethune St 57 St and Woodside Jackson Heights and LGA Terminal A LGA Terminal A and Jamaica Jamaica and JFK Terminal 4 LGA Depot - Uses the 12 buses assigned to the Q70 (replaces Q70), as well as some of the 2015 XD40s from LGA Depot assigned to the local routes (when the new XDE40s come in, those replace the XD40s that the Q144 uses.)

could my routing work? (see below)

why not? ENY would have one exit of the platform to Atlantic and one to Fulton, but the others would be rather short paassageways.

Thanks!

Video Photo: This is a P32AC-DM #706 leading a 3-car Amfleet set. BEFORE YOU ASK, NO, I DID NOT TRESSPASS TO FILM THIS VIDEO. I PUT MY CAMERA THROUGH A FENCE, BUT I DID NOT CROSS THE FENCE. Any thoughts/feedback?

Ok, maybe the UWS stop should be axed. But, as you can see below, the 106 St stop has a not-that-complicated exit (currently a grating) to a BIG area of Riverside Park. Maybe make that a request stop? https://www.google.com/maps/@40.8032668,-73.9724982,3a,15y,101.37h,89.92t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1spwZf3fS0Y7j4laoCpLy2pQ!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DpwZf3fS0Y7j4laoCpLy2pQ%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D335.56992%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192 Bway Jct: an exit from ENY Flatbush: an exit from Bklyn Col Jackson Hts: use from Roosevelt Av Ok, but again I ask, could a low-level platform be feasible? Where would they cross highways? Also, the only station that has LOTS of stairs is West Harlem. I'd be ok changing that to 138 St. See underlined above.

Inwood: on viaduct, so just stairs/elevator down. Fort Washington: exit to path that leads to 181 St Hamilton Heights stairs/elevator up to 158 St West Harlem stairs/elevator up to 145 St Manhattanville exit at 125 St, stairs down Bloomingdale tunnel to Riverside Dr, exit to Riverside Park UWS tunnel to Riverside Dr, exit to Riverside Park Riverside South stairs up to 62 St Hells Kitchen stairs up from cutting to 48 and 49 Sts

Would my Cross City Line (see above) be (somewhat of) an alternative for some of the lines you are proposing (Crossrail)

North Queens lines: runs from Hanover Sq to 96th, then across Randalls Island, serving LGA, then via the Whitestone Expy median to Whitestone. runs from Abingdon Sq, via 10 Av/Riverside South, then 79 St Crosstown, to Northern Blvd, then via a viaduct over I-278, then merging with the under LGA, then to Bayside Northern is 3 tracks, for <T><V> or <G><V> trains. North Queens+Whitestone is 2 tracks. Bayside is 3 tracks for <V> trains. LIE: peep my proposal from earlier Jewel: maybe: runs to Queens College, runs to South Forest Hills (Under 71st) Union Tpke: my northern local ( or ) runs to fresh meadows via main st and 73 av, so that serves that area.

You’re welcome

Photoshop and MS Paint do it well. http://Photopea.com is good if you want a free one.

Yes! Maybe make the the 10 Av Subway?

Well, then maybe the X98 could have 2 branches: one to the Cloisters, and one via the HH Pkwy to Inwood/Riverdale.

Here's a question: Why does the have no trains in highway medians? For ex: here's a proposal I made earlier: Whitestone Local / Van Wyck Local / Lower Montauk Local / Bushwick Branch / S 4 St Tunnel / 2 Av Local / 125 St Crosstown 8 Av via I-678 Median 14 Av 20 Av 25 Av Linden Pl Northern Blvd Roosevelt Av walk to LIRR Flushing Meadows Corona Park LIE Jewel Av Union Tpke Briarwood Jamaica-Van Wyck via Lower Montauk Branch Richmond Hill (Jamaica Av) Kew Gardens South (Park Ln S) Union Tpke Atlas Park Glendale (73 St) Middle Village Fresh Pond via Bushwick Branch Flushing Av Metro Av Varick Av Montrose Av Hewes St Marcy Av Delancey-Essex all planned 2 Av/125 St Stops to: 125 St/Bway Any insight (or thoughts on my proposal?) @KK 6 Ave Local @mrsman @40MntVrn @LaGuardia Link N Tra @Wallyhorse?

Northern connects to a 79 St Tunnel, then connect to a 2 Av line, and a 2 track tunnel to Riverside South, serving the . The then connects to a new Ditmars Line as a local. My Ditmars Express () goes there. A would be ok, though. Yes 100%! Maybe run the via Lower Montauk? Yes 100%! My (Northern Local) goes to Fresh Meadows via 73 Av, which would maybe tie in with an extension. My Ditmars Line serves the airport, but a midtown-airport link would be nice. Yup 100%! No. IMO, it should run to South Brooklyn.

@Via Garibaldi 8 I changed the Bx14 to run from 246th. During rush hours, buses would run to 242nd (with a stop there), then straight to Lehman College. Is this routing better?

I changed the map to keep the corridor, but serve target at 225th, skipping 242nd. I'd say during the rush, Bx14s run to 242nd, skipping Target, then to 232nd.

Took your advice and changed it to run on Gun Hill. Is this better?

Where? It's only routed down main thoroughfares I changed it - see map for new routing. Because Gun Hill gets clogged up with traffic. Also, is the eastern end better?

Ok, point taken. I've Revised the map: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RevmjGaiPdPA1jxrZMxFEZcWO965jMHf&usp=sharing Better? @danig1220 @engineerboy6561

@I FORGOT and @LaGuardia Link N Tra why did you react "confused"?
