Edgar Posted October 6, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 6, 2008 Why not extend the to Co-Op City? Also the to the Bronx @ 154 St and Independence Ave would be a good idea. The ( to Ocean Pkwy is great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted October 6, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 6, 2008 Would be good, but won't happen. Why... because you need $$$$ for that. Hell, I think we will be lucky to see the SAS finished or even the line extension done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted October 6, 2008 Share #3 Posted October 6, 2008 The would be too long if extended any further north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Parkway is only one stop from Brighton Beach, but theres no turn around would there so trains could turn around better. Even though headways on the aren't that fast, I would rather keep trains to terminate at Brighton Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted October 6, 2008 Share #8 Posted October 6, 2008 Its only one stop and Ocean PKWY is not a good place to relay a train. You would have to run back to BB to cross over back to the north bound. I'm sure this would greatly delay turn around time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted October 6, 2008 Share #9 Posted October 6, 2008 i wouldnt extend the seeing that its already running via three boroghs All Manhhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, extended it will be more longer, like 2-3 hrs just to get from the Northern Term (o lets say Riverdale) and Far Rocaway The Id leave alone it already runs boros, Bronx, Manhattan, and Brlyn the SAS would do well extending to Bay Plaza Mall after 125th and Lex, turn at Park Ave, north under the MNRR to 138th Street, then get to 3rd Ave, and up to Gun Hill and Webster then, cross Gun hill to Bartow, ho NE to New England Thruway (I95) and thats gd extend to St Nicholas, go north, enter through those abandoded express track( Which runs from N. 125th Street to South 138 st) and run on the to 207. Unless TA extends pass 207 to Marble Hill, BX No need for via Concourse, Uses all time, Rush Hrs, when makes concorse express peak. just my cents __________________ SAS= Second Avenue Subway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokuSix Posted October 6, 2008 Share #10 Posted October 6, 2008 I had read that the original plan was to extend the past Norwood, but because of the Great Depression, the plan never followed through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr142 Posted October 6, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 6, 2008 Yeah, Pablo is right, and I also think that ( shouldent get extended because the goes to Coney island at all times, and it passes through Brighton beach and ocean parkway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted October 7, 2008 Share #12 Posted October 7, 2008 I had read that the original plan was to extend the past Norwood, but because of the Great Depression, the plan never followed through. Makes sense, 205 is kind of an inconvenient terminal, with the relay past the station as opposed to most terminals where the crossover is before the station.
