Good on ya for finally getting this approved. Im certain stuytown residents will be happy and, like it or not, there's a ton of development going on right on E14th (including at the old R&S spot at Ave. C) that will warrant the Ave. A entrance. now, if they'd run the L more frequently at rush hour that'd be another thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-39497951252902738492015-11-04T22:54:29.837-05:002015-11-04T22:54:29.837-05:00When the L train isn't running there is a diff...When the L train isn't running there is a difference in this neighborhood so profound you can almost feel it.

Moving it to Avenue C was a quick-and-dirty move by the MTA, who could well afford to move it back now. <br /><br />It still [usually] runs to South Ferry, but by combining the M9 and M21 lines to run the M9 up Avenue C to 23rd street, they reduced the M21 to just a stub across Houston street.<br /><br /><i>Besides</i>, the M9 was <i>originally</i> a Red and Tan bus that ran all night. Two different guys who lived here in the 60s have told me that. They called it the "Avenue B bus." It's always been the Avenue B bus.<br /><br />I'd be glad to sign a petition, attend a hearing, whatever it takes to get it back.Scuba Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326884503725331349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-40061828937506943002015-11-04T00:27:56.660-05:002015-11-04T00:27:56.660-05:00Silly.... what is needed is needed is a stop on Av...Silly.... what is needed is needed is a stop on AveD, right where R&S Strauss used to be Mark Hand The Catchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880357758792913275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-24865780774632392362015-11-03T21:10:44.239-05:002015-11-03T21:10:44.239-05:00Always felt the 2nd Avenue Subway line should'...Always felt the 2nd Avenue Subway line should've been planned to turn east at 14th and then run down Avenue A. 2nd Ave south has the F train and the Astor station isn't too far away.

The 14A & D buses are already rush hour disasters and all the residential additions in the northern EV will just make it all worse. While the staircase at Ave A will be a help, the MTA needs to increase frequency of the 14th Street buses during rush and restore the M9 bus that used to run between Union Sq and Lower Manhattan via Ave B and Chinatown. It's now on Ave C and still serves Chinatown but no longer goes to Union Sq. That needs to change.28yearsanEastVillageresidentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-2053566998195506982015-11-03T13:40:13.565-05:002015-11-03T13:40:13.565-05:00@10:42 AM, I think the tunnel turns at that point ...@10:42 AM, I think the tunnel turns at that point so a B-C entrance might not be aligned with 14th Street?Marcosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-85227299955166552062015-11-03T11:48:08.632-05:002015-11-03T11:48:08.632-05:00A stop can't be built any further east than in...A stop can't be built any further east than in Manhattan because after the trains leave the 1st Ave stop, they start descending down to reach the tunnel that is under the bed of the East River.
