The subway map seems arbitrary. It shows West 96th 1/2/3 in good repair, which it clearly is not, while West 72nd 1/2/3 with its spanking brand-new renovation job is in bad repair. Huh?

I've always said that they could extend the V train to Jay St in Brooklyn, just stop at Delancy, then right onto Jay. Seems to me that would help with a lot of the congestion during rush hour.

The subway lines which run through downtown Brooklyn already feel like they're at capacity. When Atlantic Yards gets built, those lines will be over, not at. How about extend the 2nd avenue subway into Brooklyn for a little relief.

Still can't find the maps. They're on the PlanNYC section of NYC.gov? Where?

Oh, and the actual website is located here - http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc/html/home/home.shtml (Article link left off the L at the end.)

JobCain - here's the word from their website on good/bad repair: What is a state of good repair? What does it include? Does it include upgrading all stations to be handicapped accessible? A "state of good repair" is a somewhat technical term. It means, generally, that there's no deferred maintenance: no leaks left unrepaired; that painting is done on a regular basis; that there aren't any obsolete parts of the system that can't be replaced easily. It doesn't include handicapped accessibility at all stations, but it does include achieving accessibility at the 100 most important ones. Anything beyond that is not included in the definition of "state of good repair" - but there are clearly more improvements that should be made.

What are the guidelines for a station to be considered in good or bad repair? I live off the R line in Brooklyn which is shown to be in bad repair. The train is slow as all get out on the weekends and late night but I've almost never seen a posted service change/re-rout. I'm suprised by the dismal honesty of that map.

Jen: That PLANYC link isn't working. Is this the proper one? PLANYC.org

Joe - I believe that's the Metro-North line.

Interesting that the 2nd Ave subway is at capacity by 2030.

But won't NYC be underwater by that time??? ;) IMO, the 2030 subway Map doesn't show the subway going far enough into eastern queens.
