alejr88 Posted June 16, 2012 Share #51 Posted June 16, 2012 Yeah, if they're going to change the name, it's going to be something consistent across the board, ala Jay St-MetroTech or Court Sq (-23 St). I think Bleecker-Lafayette sounds better than any of the other names, who knows if they are going to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted June 17, 2012 Share #52 Posted June 17, 2012 I think Bleecker-Lafayette sounds better than any of the other names, who knows if they are going to change it. Plus that or Houston-Lafayette are the most accurate names if it needed to renamed. Could be wrong but i think at end of day it will be called Houston-Lafayette.

TwoTimer Posted June 17, 2012 Share #53 Posted June 17, 2012 It could just be Houston St (IRT) and Lafayette St (IND). I was going to suggest Broadway as that's the bigger name but then I remember there already is a Broadway stop in the IND over in Queens. If not that, leave things alone, its not like something new was built there like the Barclays Center or Metrotech (older but still wasn't around when Boro Hall was built lol).

mark1447 Posted June 17, 2012 Share #54 Posted June 17, 2012 Hopefully when the in-system transfer opens to the public, the should consider on renaming the 2 subway stations in 2 different station names. The new name for the Bleecker St Station will be "Bleecker-Houston Sts" and for the Broadway-Lafayette St Station, it will be known as "Houston-Lafayette Sts" I'd leave it how it is. But if a name must be changed. It would then make sense for it to be Lafayette-Houston Street then for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted June 17, 2012 Share #56 Posted June 17, 2012 :LOCK: Actually lets keep this for now at least until at least few days after this project is over and the "new" station opens. However to prevent multi threads on it for a bit it be pinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted June 19, 2012 Share #57 Posted June 19, 2012 From the IND platform, it still looks more like a hole in the wall/ceiling. Don't know why that part of it, which you would think would be easiest to construct, since the space was already there, would be the last to be completed. They finished the heavy concrete platform extension work quicker than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But isn't there a 7th Avenue and a 7th Avenue ? And lots of people identify with the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted June 22, 2012 Share #59 Posted June 22, 2012 then there's the 36th street station on the R and the 36th street station..... on the R. When a D gets rerouted, like, oddly, right now (signal troubles on the West End) to the Sea Beach, it stops at two 59th streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West End Posted June 25, 2012 Share #60 Posted June 25, 2012 Has anyone heard on when the opening date will be this month between the Broadway-Lafayette St to the Uptown #6 at Bleecker St. Any information is greatly appreciated. It's almost the end of June... any word on this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princelex Posted June 26, 2012 Share #61 Posted June 26, 2012 We haven't heard anything about the connection opening. I too am looking forward to it opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azspeedbullet Posted June 29, 2012 Share #64 Posted June 29, 2012 i dont think, so, that station is still a mess. Platform walls is still missing a ton of tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West End Posted July 1, 2012 Share #65 Posted July 1, 2012 Around 3 in the morning, I peeked through a hole in the construction wall at the uptown Bleecker street station. Either a good amount of work is being done today, or the transfer is not opening tomorrow at 5 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted July 1, 2012 Share #66 Posted July 1, 2012 No it will not open on Monday 7/2. The 90% of the time will make a press release couple of days before it's opening. So go to the MTA website will announce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted July 1, 2012 Share #67 Posted July 1, 2012 Lol, disappointing news for at least 1 person here. Meanwhile life will continue on for a few more days as it has for several decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eee Posted July 4, 2012 Share #70 Posted July 4, 2012 Does anyone know the source for the new rectangular white subway tile that they are installing to match what was on the Bleecker platform before? It looks like its glass, and there are rounded convex tiles for outside corners as well; quite beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted July 4, 2012 Share #72 Posted July 4, 2012 http://secondavenues...er-st-transfer/ looks like it has be delayed to august. Not surprised, and :sigh: more days with chipper asking when it will open... if he wants to see it so bad, why doesn't he just camp out at the station? That way he'll definitely know what the progress is and stop bothering us about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
