I have always thought that there was enough space under Queensboro Plaza (plenty of empty lots) to build a G terminus that would allow direct connections with the M and $E. 21/Ely/Court Square is terribly designed. The E/M platform, is way too narrow and there are only access points at the ends of the platform. Should a disaster ever hasppen, heazven forbid, there will be more injuries than if it had happened at Queens Plaza. Also, the MTA should think about branching the L to where the S4 junction would have been and running it to Second Avenue. It could branch off at Metropolitan Avenue/Lorimer Street where there would be minimal problems to normal life. At S4 a new J/M station could be built, connecting the G and the branched off L, making the housing in that area that much more valuable. From S4, you could travel to midtown (M), downtown (J) or the East Village (L branched off). You could take the G for uptown connections or downtown connections. Fantastic stuff.
