^ Regarding Bx crosstown, my ultimate solution would be a Fordham Rd/Pelham Pkwy subway that ties into the IND Eighth Ave Line using the 207 St yard lead (or some other streamlined connection, possibly part of a massive yard topping housing development) and running to Co-Op City. Of course this is tied into other ambitious ideas like extending the (6) to Co-Op, the ["TriboroRX"] (X) line scheme either taking over the ex-NYW&B Dyer (5) line or following the M-N/Amtrak line all the way to Co-Op, as well as an upper NE Bronx (D) extension under Burke and others to Co-Op all sharing either one or two terminals on the south and north ends of Co-Op City. And who knows what may come of a Bronx line that feeds into SAS. That could see a line to the SE Bronx, a branch through the central South Bronx to Fordham Rd and a branch along the ex-NYW&B as well since it is built for four tracks which would allow a Dyer line (T) to run express to 180th.
