TO BEN:
Today I took a little trip downtown to see the now fully reopened Cortlandt St. station.
One thing I noticed:
The underpass between the two sides is part of the Dey St. passageway.
Many people were angry to find out that the Dey St. passageway will be
only an out-of-system connection. But the one part of it that is now open is inside the “fare zone”. I wonder if that implies that the entire passageway will be inside the zone after all.
Of course, they might be intending to put turnstiles where the false walls at both ends of the underpass now are.
But wouldn’t that make it impossible to use the passageway to walk between the WTC transportation hub and the Fulton St. Transit Center?
As far as I know, the Dey Street passageway will be an in-system transfer. At the south end of the Cortlandt Street there is a passageway that does not connect to the north side of the station, but that is there only to provide a secondary means of access to the southbound platform.
BEN, do you know anything about this?
I mean, DID they decide to change it to an in-system transfer?
(If so, that’s good news, and the Wikipedia article should be updated.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dey_Street_Passageway
The FEIS explicitly states that it will be an out-of-system passageway.
The Dey Street Passageway will remain as an out-of-system transfer to the rest of the lines at Fulton St. A different passageway will connect the Cortlandt St station to the World Trade Center (E) line station, which will also connect the
(R) to the (2), (3), (A) and(C) lines at Park Place/Chambers St.if it was a full in system passageway which would connect two A train stations (Fulton and Chambers) which wouldnt make too much sense
It would connect the 4/5 and J/Z to the E and R, which would actually be quite useful.
This “Weekender” has the information about replacement service in a note, but it is not presented in any useful graphic form. For example, all the stations not being served by C trains are highlighted by flashing dots — which is confusing. All I want to know is what is running, and where — so I can discover how I might get to wherever I want to go.
Ben, your secondavenuesagas.com weblong weekend service map has a much more comprehensible graphic weekend service guide — showing only what a person needs to know.
For example, it clearly shows that the C is routed to Second Ave., as well as its absence from running in and to Brooklyn this weekend. Also, you explain the reason for the service interruption — which I like. (Knowing about the important work that is taking place makes taking the detour more palatable for me.)
Could someone please explain to me how the Rockaways Beach 116th-Mott Avenue Shuttle Works?
I’m aware of Hammel’s Wye for the Mott Avenue Bound Trains, but what about the Beach 116th Street-Bound trains? Do they relay through Broad Channel? Or is the train a true shuttle that only utilizes that one Mott-Avenue Bound Platform at each station?
Thanks.
Hammels Wye in both directions. Trains single-track through Hammels Wye but not the rest of the line.
Ah. Thank you.
