Yeah, definitely. It would be nice if there was at least one line that cut across diagonally like the 7 kind of does in Queens. Or at the very least a Shuttle train made to connect parallel lines like in Franklin Ave in Brooklyn.
I think the city should rid cars on crosstown streets and make it a public space with a light rain in between.
Would work well for 14th,23rd, 34th, 42nd and 125th streets.
Or don’t do 125th street but allow the Q train to run cross town until Broadway!
Yea but they aren’t tearing them down that much in park slope. Areas like Hell’s Kitchen and even parts of Harlem yea to make way for those large condo style buildings!
I think there will plenty around for the rest of our lives, unless Bushwick, the Southeast Bronx, etc. become super rich and the zoning changes.

I know, but my point was that the outer neighborhoods of those boroughs are not necessarily suburban. I forgot about Coney Island and the surrounding neighborhoods as well. It seems like the only truly suburban Bronx and Brooklyn neigborhoods are the ones that have some sort of geographic constraint preventing it from being more urban (like beach neighborhoods). The exception might be the suburban parts of Riverdale, I'm not sure whether it developed like that due to excessive hilliness, or for the purpose of being suburban.

For some reason I think that wouldn't work. All those cars have to go somewhere!

Cars are the biggest problem. As long as they are there it will never be fixed especially buses!
Plus I only listed 4 or 5 streets that have bad congestion issues. The Grid of Manhattan wouldn’t really be harmed by it and a lot of those streets have no turning restrictions. When I worked for the DOT there was actually a study that showed the SBS M60 was actually not running up to speed in the Harlem section of its route!
That street has a whole lot of buses (manhattan and Bronx buses) and even more cars!

How about congestion pricing with all revenue levvied to go towards mass transit?
In case you didn't know: NYC is filled with undeveloped land throughout the city. Take a tour! Even Midtown Manhattan you had some next to UN Plaza, but they immediately developed in the last few years.
