Comments on: As a Transit Center grows at Fulton St., service changes abound http://secondavenuesagas.com/2010/01/08/as-a-transit-center-grows-at-fulton-st-service-changes-abound/ A New York City Subway Blog Sat, 26 May 2012 04:42:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Andrew http://secondavenuesagas.com/2010/01/08/as-a-transit-center-grows-at-fulton-st-service-changes-abound/#comment-69581 Andrew Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:24:52 +0000 http://secondavenuesagas.com/?p=4730#comment-69581 The ramps on the eastern side of the complex (connecting the A/C and southbound J/Z/M with the 2/3) were already closed for demolition a month or two ago - there's a new staircase (seemingly temporary) in their place. There's also no direct access from the southbound J/Z/M platform to the 2/3 mezzanine anymore - you have to go down to the A/C platform and back up. That had better be temporary. (It's bad enough that, even once this entire project is complete, there still won't be any way to get from the western end to the eastern end without using part of the A/C platform!) I guess we're going to see something similar on the western side of the complex in a week.

The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, or I should say, "The left side of Church St. doesn't know what the right side of Church St. is doing.

It can't be too soon. I’m ready for the whole Dey St connector thing and the various Cortlandt street stations to come back already. It can’t be too soon.

I'll suggest to them that they make these available on their website. They're very helpful. Got the map from the MTA. I’ll suggest to them that they make these available on their website.

Of course, this is a bigger mess than usual. But I agree that they should do this more often. Yes, it’s quite encouraging to see them come up with a nice map like that so quickly.

I wish the MTA would make more of these for the service changes though. It's the next best thing to an official SubwayWeekender. Where do you get the LSM JPEG file from?

Wouldn't it be great if we could say the same thing about the Second Ave. Subway work? At least the Fulton St. work IS progressing at a “fairly brisk pace”.
