Fixing the L Train and Managing the Shutdown A Community Consensus Proposal

Here is the report.

 

There are some things that I like:

  • ​They propose a free transfer between Broadway on the G and Hewes on the J M.
  • They suggest that closed entrance be reopened.

What I don't like:

  • The implementation of platform screen doors.
  • Widening the Union Square platform. I am not sure if it could be done in 18 months, it would be really expensive.
  • It suggested having M trains turn at 21st–Queensbridge. That is so dumb. F trains run frequently, every 4 minutes during peak hours. The F has a long route and is prone to delays. It already merges with the E, M and G. Another merge would make it worse. Fumigating at 21st Street would delay service. You can't really increase M service. The limit on Sixth Avenue is 25 TPH. The F has 15, and the M can only be increased by one TPH.
  • They also want to increase A and C service. The Cranberry Tubes are maxed out at 26 TPH. These people don't know what they are talking about.
