"The MTA's 2025-2029 capital plan aims to address the long-standing Nostrand Junction bottleneck by rerouting tracks to separate local and express trains."
"By implementing this plan, the MTA expects to save over a minute in travel times and to alleviate ongoing system-wide delays."
"While the reconfiguration will improve efficiency, it will also reroute the 3 train away from key local stops, raising the need for discussions about a new local service."
"Construction is set to commence in the latter half of the capital plan, with potential future signal upgrades to enhance system efficiency further."
The MTA's 2025-2029 capital plan focuses on resolving the Nostrand Junction bottleneck, affecting the 2, 3, 4, and 5 subway lines. This plan involves rerouting tracks to separate local from express services, which aims to save over a minute of travel time and decrease delays system-wide. However, this change will also reroute the 3 train away from certain local stops, prompting discussions about possibly introducing a new local service, referred to as the 8 train. Construction is planned for the latter half of the proposed timeline, along with potential future upgrades to signals to improve efficiency further.
