Some progress on the Culver rehabilitation project

[Ftrainfan 13]

I noticed lately some fast progress in the Culver viaduct rehabilitation project!

I mean , the new Express tracks @ 4th Ave-9th Street are already assembled! I think this might even be completed BEFORE 2014!!!!!! This means the will be cut back to smith-9th street and the will own 7th Ave again YESSSS!!!!!! post here if YOU noticed some progress as well.

I heard the might terminate at Church Ave permanently if the demand is needed.

The is going to keep going to Church Ave, face it, its useful since it's stopping at 4th Ave, if you take it away, people will complain, also it is only 300', perfect for relaying at Church Ave. Like really, do you gain anything besides your love for the if the goes away, I mean does the really affect your at all? If anything the affects the since it usually always goes first before the which like who cares really.

no the shouldnt go to Church, unless the MTA builds a switch that goes to the express tracks because it delays the like crazy

Of course operation wise, I agree with you, but when it comes to the public, the will probably keep going, it is like how the somehow the was kept instead of the .

Well once the construction finishes the express track will be avaliable i assume.So can't either the or run on the express tracks?

: Aint happening. The main line isn't connected to the express tracks.

 

: Yes in theory, no in practice since the people of Park Slope would have to transfer at 7th avenue (And Bergen Street to my understanding isn't even in the equation).

See if it happens it would have to go like this

 

Culver Express-Sixth Avenue Local

From Jamaica-179th St to Coney Island

Late Nights runs as a Culver Local

Culver Local-Crosstown Local

From Long Island City-71 St to Avenue X

Late Nights terminate at Church Avenue

Do you guys have accurate information to support your answers?

[Roadcruiser1 286]

Sure the only has access to the express track and the doesn't because a crossunder isn't possible so that is the only configuration they could run in

[R32 3348 11]

They're doing the express track first for a reason. After they finish the express tracks, they will have to work on the local tracks as part of Phase II of the project. That means diverting and service to the express track while they work on the local track. I remember reading in the PDF describing the project (it's been posted on the forums before; use the search feature) that temporary platforms will be in place at local stations while they work on the local tracks and rehabbing Smith-9th Street and 4th Ave.

 

After all that, the project should be finished (I don't remember if the project has more than two phases, of which we are in phase one right now) and service will return back to normal. service will stay at Church Ave. if there is demand, but if money is short they will likely cut it back to Smith - 9th St.

That's a terrible idea. Park Slope riders will object to the being an express and having to transfer from the to the to get to Manhattan. You can't have only the run local for their stops. Unless it were to be like a <> and regular then fine. But there's no way you are making the express and the local.

[Roadcruiser1 286]

Or how about bringing back the that might work. A diamond also works but a extension wouldn't work. Well its fine with me as long as they might bring back a Culver Express.

I agree; the can have a split express-local service supplemented by the , but the denizens of Park Slope will not tolerate the as the only local to nowhere.

(V)/<> whatever, point is, the must still serve Park Slope with the . You CAN'T have ONLY the run local. Plus looking at the condition of the Bergen St lower level from subchat and other places, it's not worth it to reopen it. That also takes out a transfer from the to .

At first I didn't get the whole point of the extension to Brooklyn but the long length of the the is.... the could at least run express north of Church Av (except late nights) while the and run local to Church Av. If the does in fact prove successful, I wish the Chrystie tracks could connect to 6th Ave express tracks (instead of the local tracks) to replace the to 145th St.

Where would the go with your plan?

[CenSin 3,407]

145 Street or Bedford Park Boulevard to Metropolitan Avenue

 

I think it's feasible to construct such a connection. Connecting the Manhattan-bound tracks should be fairly straightforward, and connecting the Brooklyn-bound tracks would just require a short tunnel bypassing the Manhattan-bound express track and the Brooklyn-bound tracks.

Then you are giving CPW local riders 2 480' locals. How is that fair for them?

Eventually the is gonne be full-length like its express counterpart the .

Still, that is future, we are talking about it currently if his plan was implemented tomorrow.
