Check out this new video from the Regional Plan Association explaining the (desperately needed) proposed Triboro RX subway line. The Triboro proposal uses existing abandoned or underutilized rail lines to develop a 24-mile subway line from Co-op City in the Bronx to Bay Ridge Brooklyn with the possibility of extending to Staten Island. The line would have 17 subway connections and 4 commuter lines, drastically improve transportation for the millions of New Yorkers living in transit deserts in the outer boroughs. What do you think about the Triboro proposal? @regional_plan ・・・ New York City’s rail network has always focused on getting people in and out of Manhattan. Let’s bring better transit to the outer boroughs with Triboro, a 24-mile rail line running through The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. Triboro would use existing tracks, making it simpler and cheaper to build than brand new infrastructure. It would connect with dozens of existing public transit lines and help 100,000 New Yorkers each day get where they need to go #BuildTriboro (at Co-op City, Bronx) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PwzJWHtP8/?igshid=1spgtnn9gmeb6
