[edit] Groundbreaking

The Groundbreaking has already begun a sign on the news and someone should change to that the plan has been revised and is construction has begun - User:Trulystand700

[edit] Image

You removed the 7-Line Banner which was from the MTA's website. I understand using MTA images is a grey area. But why did you also remove the planning document image that showed the route of the 7 line extension? This is from a public planning document, released to the public and very relevant to the topic at hand.

[edit] Original proposal

The article says that the extension was originally proposed in connection with the West Side Stadium plan. Is there any support for that? My recollection is that the idea had been kicking around for quite a while, as a way to boost development in the area and specifically to make the Javits Center more accessible and therefore more attractive as a convention site. I think it would be accurate to say that the proposal received renewed attention in connection with the Stadium plan, though. JamesMLane t c 19:47, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How wide?

As I understand correctly, the 7 line was originally BMT with tunnels having Division 2 clearances, and was reworked for narrower IRT trains. Will the extension be wide enough that, were it extended to 14th Street, it could carry Canarsie Line trains? Jim.henderson (talk) 14:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
