  1. There should be a subway line to Staten Island from the existing Bay Ridge 95th Street Station. This will require getting rid of the false walls just south of the station that once extended further down to 101st Street. In order for it to be feasible, it should be built as a 2 track tunnel along the Verrazano Narrows bridge under the Lower Bay, and along the Staten Island expressway. Stopping at Lily Pond Avenue, Hylan Boulevard, and Grasmere. After Lily Pond Avenue, the line will either emerge as an elevated, or run on the median of the Staten Island expressway with non-revenue trackway connections to the Staten Island Railway. This can be served by the and/or lines.
  2. You guys may want to look at the fantasy map I made. It serves transit deserts like Central Queens, Eastern Queens, and even Staten Island! Revolutionary NYC Subway Map https://goo.gl/maps/pYdWzqUdm4xjnTa1A

  4. I'm surprised that there's no talk about the IND Worth St line. In my opinion, phase 1 should be from Canal Street, to Pitt and Grand Streets. The additional phases that follow should be up for debate regarding where the line should go and end.

  6. I actually have a plan for a Staten Island subway. It involves an extension of the IND Culver line & IND Crosstown (see my map for details) under Fort Hamilton Parkway/10th Avenue and the Narrows, as a 2 and 4 track line meeting up with the (see my map for details). By that I mean there will be a total of 4 tracks with no merging involved. In addition to this plan, it involves a new BMT Interborough line under 67th Street and along the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch right of way, as a 2 track line meeting up with the (see my map for details). By that I mean there will be a total of 4 tracks with no merging involved. Furthermore, it involves two extensions of the BMT 4th Avenue line & (see my map for details). The will extended south of the Bay-Ridge 95th Street station which will then run under the Narrows, as a 2 track line meeting up with the (see my map for details). By that I mean there will be a total of 4 tracks with no merging involved. while the will branch off south of the 59th Street station by using the abandoned 67th Street tunnel, as a 2 track line meeting up with the (see my map for details). By that I mean there will be a total of 4 tracks with no merging involved. Anyways, here's my take on how the NYC subway system should expand it's subway system including Staten Island: Revolutionary New York City subway map
  7. I actually have a plan for a Staten Island subway. It involves an extension of the IND Culver line under Fort Hamilton Parkway/10th Avenue, as a 4 track line. In addition to this plan, it involves a new BMT Interborough line under 67th Street and along the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch right of way, as a 2 track line. Furthermore, two branches of the BMT 4th Avenue line will branch off. One of them involves an extension south of the Bay-Ridge 95th Street station which will then run under the Narrows, while other will branch off at 59th Street by utilizing the unfinished 67th Street tunnel meeting with the proposed BMT Interborough line. By "meeting", I meant that there will be a total of 4 tracks with no merging involved. Anyways, here's my take on how the NYC subway system should expand it's subway system including Staten Island: Revolutionary New York City subway map https://goo.gl/maps/gh1xdw1BFb1kGKDq9 If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, let me know.
  8. The MTA should re-open the lower level of City Hall as a terminal station.
  9. The IBX should've been a subway line and it would've been called the train. We lost another one.

  11. Im 90% finished with my fantasy NYC subway map which happens to include Staten Island. I'll link it in the afternoon at 6:00 P.M EST. It serves every major part of the city and you'd be surprised how much is filled in.
  12. There was supposed to be a station at Northern Blvd and 41st Avenue on the IND 63rd Street line. It would've had 2 island platforms with 3 tracks. In addition, a passageway transfer to the existing IND Queens Boulevard line would've been built. It's much harder to de-interline without building new subway extensions. Until then, we are stuck with the Queens Boulevard connector.

The map tells you everything you need to know about it. Let me know your thoughts after you've viewed it.
  14. If you don't see the 42nd Street huttle, , and trains on the map, it's because they've been removed from the system. This is because they are not needed anymore, hence the name.
