Do you know which subway lines will connect here? Just curious.
ReplyDeletei assume that it would connect the r and m lines to the a, c, and f. as far as i know, those are the only ones that stop at those stations.
ReplyDeleteit's a pretty big step, though. i'm on the r line and i always cringe when i find out that i have to go anywhere south of midtown on the f, a, or c.
Originally, they were planning on linking the 2/3/4/5 with the A/C/F and R. But apparently it turned out to be physically impossible to link to the 2/3/4/5, so we'll have to settle for the A/C/F and R. Still, a great improvement. With the new condo going up on Lawrence street, this area won't look the same in 5 years time.
