[edit] Recent addition re: connection with SAS

During the public comment period for the SAS Environmental Impact Study, the MTA specifically disclaimed the rumor that there is an incomplete SAS station shell beyond the existing side platform walls. In addition, the chosen design for the SAS is to build the new station underneath the existing Grand Street station, not alongside it. All of this is quite easily verified at the MTA's SAS website[1]. Marc Shepherd 11:58, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I made the edit re: sharing platform and I was going by the nycsubway.org in the external links, and I believe the Lexington Avenue-63rd Street (New York City Subway) is using the same source. Anyway, fair enough on the revert - thank for the PDF link. Makes it crystal clear. Ytny 04:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

At Lexington-63rd the statement is true. Marc Shepherd 11:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I know that this is all correct, but do you know where it is in the FEIS that the MTA disclaimed that rumor? I'm just curious to see exactly what they said. Or was that something that was said out of print? Larry V (talk | contribs) 13:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Final Environmental Impact Statement, Chapter 23, p. 23-24, response to Comment 51 (PDF here).

Makes for interesting reading, no? =) Larry V (talk | contribs) 15:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it does. Not that I have photographic recall of everything in the FEIS, but I happened to remember that comment. Marc Shepherd 15:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I actually just emailed the MTA to send me a hard copy. *snickers* (Really, I did. I'm sick of reading the PDFs.) Larry V (talk | contribs) 12:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
