Looking forward to the new retail and hoping it will be useful.
I guess it is a good thing they are upgrading the signals on the 7 line, so they will be able to run trains more frequently, and closer together.
Agreed. Maybe the shuttle bus from the TF Cornerstone properties will make an extra stop at the E/M on 21st & 44th and Queensboro Plaza? That may help somewhat. Hopefully the second phase of HPS doesn’t get built for quite some time, to dealy the inveitable just a little longer.
