In the Last Blog, I talked about the West End Line, which is known as the 4th Avenue Line. In this Blog, I am going to talk about the Part of the West End Line that goes to Coney Island. Currently, The D Train runs along the West End Line. The D Train runs Express along 4th Avenue in KINGS County (Brooklyn).
After 36th Street, which I would rename Greenwood-Sunset-36th Street, The D Train then turns left to go East. The Next Stop is 9th Avenue, which I would rename Greenwood-9th Avenue. The Next Stop is Fort Hamlton Parkway followed by 50th Street, which I would rename Borough Park-50th Avenue. The Next Stop is 62nd Street, which I would rename Borough Park-62nd Street. This is the Stop to Transfer to the New Utrecht Avenue N Train Stop. The Next Stop is 71st Street, which I would rename Dyker Heights-71st Street. The Next Stop is 18th Avenue, which I would rename Bath Beach-18th Avenue.
The Next 3 Stops are 20th Avenue, Bay Parkway & 25th Avenue. I would rename ALL 3 Stops to Bensonhurst-20th Avenue, Bensonhurst-Bay Parkway & Bensonhurst-25th Avenue. Transfer @ Bay Parkway to the New B82 SBS (Select Bus Service). The Next stop is Bay 50th Street, which I would rename NORTH Coney Island-Bay 50th Street. The NEXT & FINAL STOP is Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue, Where you can Transfer to the F, N & Q Trains as well as several Bus Routes.
As I Mentioned in the last Blog, I would Extend the J Train from Broad Street in Downtown NEW YORK COUNTY (Manhattan) & have it GO along the R Train to Bay Ridge & Would Even Support Extending the R & J Train from Bay Ridge to the Eltingville Transit Center In RICHMOND COUNTY (Staten Island). The R & J Train would be 24/7 LOCAL along the 4th Avenue Line. I Also Mentioned I would Extend the Z Train from Broad Street. The Z Train would Follow the R & J Trains along the 4th Avenue Line to Greenwood-Sunset-36th Street. The Z Train would be 24/7 LOCAL along the 4th Avenue Line. After Greenwood-Sunset-36th Street, The Z Train would turn East & Follow the Current D Train to Bay Parkway. The Z Train would be 24/7 LOCAL between the 4th Avenue Line & Bay Parkway. Finally, the D Train would go Back to the Brighton Beach Line & the B Train would come Back to the West End Line. The B would be 24/7 EXPRESS along the 4th Avenue Line. Since the West End Line between 36th Street & Coney Island has ONLY 3 Tracks, the B Train Would be EXPRESS EVERY MORNING GOING TO NEW YORK COUNTY (Manhattan) while LOCAL to Coney Island. The B Train would be EXPRESS EVERY AFTERNOON Going to Coney Island while LOCAL to NEW YORK COUNTY (Manhattan).
