Crowds will flock to a quarter mile walk through the elements! Barely any different than an x-platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect some would do it and deal with it. You can in that scenario beef up the between Church and Bedford-Nostrand for that purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But few in their right mind will opt to add an outdoor walk to their commutes — especially when said walk can only be accessed via backtracking from Culver. Also, if you’re adding service, you should overlay on the demand, not where you wish the demand was — so north of Bednos.

I too would like to connect the and with the but an outdoor transfer is not going to entice people to make the transfer. If there was a way to build a transfer passageway from the at Hanson Place to the underpass at Fulton Street on the and then continuing to Lafayette Av on the , that would be great. In the grand scheme of things it really is unfortunate that the misses all these transfers (and I guess you could also say the same for the lack of a proper way to turn trains at Hoyt-Schermerhorn) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd personally like to see the following on the (G): - Some sort of transfer between sides at Bergen - H-S to Hoyt (2)(3) passage - Broadway to Hewes - Some short extension in LIC to connect with (N)(W) and/or (F). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a Jay/Metrotech- Borough Hall connection? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be two exits: one at each end. At one end of the station platforms (the northwest end) would be at Union Avenue for the connection and the other end of the station platforms would have the exit at Lorimer Street for the transfer to the B48 bus. Both ends of the station would have elevators. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
