shiznit1987 Posted July 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2009 IMHO, the easiest and most simple way to solve the entire QB situation would be to build a 3-block connector btw the 63/Lex stop on the and the (4/5/6/N/R/W) stop at 59/Lex. That way, everyone desireing travel to the East Side could stay on the rather than pack on the train. Think this is a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maserati7200 Posted July 10, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 10, 2009 why can't people just walk 3 blocks?? It's a free transfer with your metrocard. The only difference with making a passageway is that you stay underground. I would not want the wasting money on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA 8th Avenue Posted July 10, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 10, 2009 are you serious? this was done already. my answer is why make a connector to a deep, deep station like 63rd/lex to a normal depth station like 59th/lex? also, all that underpinning for what? the risk of collapse while construction, the wasting of many millions of dollars just to walk the same 3 blocks underground? come on seriously; STOP BEING LAZY! Enough already with theses connections. unless absolutely necessary. manhattan has done fine without them so far. why fix if it ain't broken?

A connector passageway doesn't reduce the distance between the two stations at all -- and that's the primary issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted July 11, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 11, 2009 I've always heard that there is a connection, but it is an electrical room (probably built as part of the IRT, off of the tunnel somewhere, and the new 63rd St line abutted it and was given a door to it).

RokuSix Posted July 11, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 11, 2009 It's not an easy walk...first, you have to climb up, walk four blocks, then walk down. And really far down, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queens Surface Posted July 11, 2009 Share #7 Posted July 11, 2009 The only advantage of the passageway is you not having to climb up those stairs from the IRT and back down to the IND .There is no other advantage to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
