STAIRWAY REPLACEMENT
Through December 2018
Bronx-bound platform at the 215 St (1)  Station is EXIT ONLY

 


For uptown service from this station, take a South Ferry-bound (1)  to Dyckman St and transfer to a Van Cortlandt Park-bound (1) . 

Alternate travel option:

For service to the 225 St-Marble Hill and 231 St  Stations, take a Bronx-bound Bx7 (days/evenings) or Bx20 (rush hours) bus on Broadway at 215 St.

When does this take effect?

Anyways, this is a good reminder why stations should have crossovers/crossunders and multiple exits, but how is it that they can keep it open for exiting but not entering?

I think they did a HEET swap between 215th and 238th, but don't quote me on that...

(MTA) and their budgets, can't afford to create new turnstiles but they can still pay people to uninstall turnstiles and reinstall them a mile and a half down the street, then bring back the original turnstiles from the second station to the first station on the way back...

They really putting that (M) to work. They should have some CIY sets run on the (M) but operate from 96th St to 2nd Av because the loads on SAS is nuts.

That won’t work as the Eastern division stations cannot accommodate 600-foot trains. Hopefully, they’ll run the (M) with 8-minute intervals at the very least.

 

Never mind, I just misread.

Im hesititant to do something like that because what happens if there's a gap in the main (M) and then you've got two 10 car (M)'s in 96/2 when the next scheduled departure is to Metropolitan...

Short turn a northbound 8-car (M) at 72nd Street.

Couldn't they combine 4 and 5-car sets to make nine-car trains on the (M)?   Most of the Eastern Division stations I believe were built to 536 feet (eight-car trains of 67' standards). 

Another option might have been for the weekend run a special (L) line from Rockaway Parkway to 96th-2nd via Broadway Brooklyn, Chrystie, 6th Avenue and the SAS.

That is the stupidest yet smartest idea I have ever heard...

But as I was saying, the (M) can not handle SAS by its self. Maybe having a 10 car set run every 15-30 minutes and end at 2nd Avenue could help out.

Again, the issue with both of these proposals is that neither assists regular (L) riders between 8 Av and Broadway Junction as they’re the ones being inconvienced.

 

On another note, next month will be busy with shuttle buses.

Turning at 72nd will gum up service if trains are behind it, or create a trainload of dissatisfied passengers if there aren’t. When we can just use 8 car trains on 8 min headways, why complicate things?

Metropolitan cannot platform 9 cars, making this idea moot.

Yup. That said, messing with that area should really have been done for the (L) shutdown. A 13% increase in (J)(M)(Z) service can’t be laughed at. Cars can easily be obtained from the (R)

Who said this was for (L) riders? It's to help out (Q) riders.

But two cars less on SAS spells trouble.

I rode weekend SAS frequently when a family member was in the hospital. It being served with 8 cars on 8 min headways will not be an issue. Remember, the only area of overlap between generalized (L) riders and generalized (Q) riders is those stops in Midtown.

9-car trains were indeed looked at. How would you deal with the proximity of the yard lead and the crossover south of Metropolitan?
