RR503 Posted May 9, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 9, 2019 The GCT enhancements are excellent news. Dwell times are what limit capacity on the now that CBTC is in; the more people you can get off the platform the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtehpanda Posted May 11, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 11, 2019 IIRC this is the stuff funded by One Vanderbilt. TBH i'm surprised new construction doesn't come with transportation impact fees split 50/50 with DOT and MTA, impact fees are heavily used elsewhere in the country. You'd think that New York politicians would love a new source of revenues that is politically popular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted May 19, 2019 Share #4 Posted May 19, 2019 It's more of that "we didn't think of it, therefore we cannot use it" mentality at work here. That and the perceived fear that forcing developers to compensate for the increased foot traffic their buildings will bring may somehow scare them off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italianstallion Posted May 30, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2019 These are not capacity improvements, they are access improvements. Capacity improvements create more TPH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
