You are dammed if you do, and you are damned if you don't.
It is a political time bomb no matter who is in charge regardless if the damage was done by an Act of God (Hurricane Sandy).
The L Train's shutdown was going to occur for 15 months. That's a long time. I don't doubt that it was necessary, but i'd be livid if i lost my main commute for 15 months.
On the flip side, if its going to take 15 months with a full shutdown, it's going to take forever with a partial/slow service.
What do people think about a slow of service, then going into a full stop of service with significant communication? People would be nudged to find alternates and spill over isn't going to overwhelm alternate routes.
- guelo 8y agoThe article says the new plan will take 15-20 months. Sounds like a big win to me.
- noer 8y agoOne thing to remember is that the Canarsie Line had years of partial shutdowns between 2004 & 2010 to install new signalling & operations technology.

At least in the Brooklyn part, they previously shut down the M to beef it up to be able to handle the new riders. There has been ton of advertisement of the whole process, and descriptions about what to do instead. People have been planning around this for a while. In other words, that's what's already happened.
