Not to mention the Queens neighborhoods near Nassau and St. John's actually getting their own Subway stop. And to think if it wasn't for politics and economics, some of these might be running today. Instead of just now building the 2nd ave subway it might be expanding into the BX already.
Its too far. If it takes more than an hour and a half to get there w/local stops its not worth it. Local stops from Hook Creek Blvd to Manhattan 
Looking at it more though I do like some of the other ideas. The G, N and O trains expanding into Queens would be OK. More coverage out towards Canarsie, near the LIE and other shyt looks OK too. But they gotta stay within a 90 minute radius.

don't they have express rides on some of these lines though during rush hour? and not just during rush hour too??
Yea but you look at something like the H line, its local for like 15 stops all the time. Thats too much. That hour and a half during rush hour will turn into 2, 3 hours if there's any kind of delay or during off hours. As cheap as it is out there you might as well just get an LIRR pass.

Express stops every 3 miles, local stops every 1.5 - 2 miles.
Add semi-express buses in those areas, to service places in between those train stops(bus lines would stop every 8 -10 blocks).
So a train from Laurelton to Times Square would be 40 - 50 min(waiting for the train, getting there) during rush hour, and 80 - 90 min local.

Some of these lines would need to be tweaked. The R and Y lines look like nightmares to commute on from Queens. The A in Brooklyn & Queens is offset by the H being express from terminal to terminal according to the diagram. Looking at the Laurelton Z Line it's not so bad considering in between Hook Creek Blvd and Jamaica Center is its only real local section.

Harlem’s 125th St. to see $1B investment in real estate projects
Harlem’s 125th St. to see $1B investment in real estate projects
June 28, 2013 01:00PM
Harlem’s 125th Street is poised to receive $1 billion in real estate development that will add 1 million square feet of space in the next few years, Blondel Pinnock, chair of the 125th Business Improvement District, told DNAinfo.
The street is home to major projects such as a four-story, 100,000-square-foot new retail complex at 125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard, the headquarters of the Urban League, a Whole Foods and a two-story Red Lobster.
“A lot of things are happening on 125th Street and it couldn’t come at a better time, especially since we have a few more years of the worst recession this country has seen remaining,” City Comptroller John Liu, a mayoral candidate, told DNAinfo. “That didn’t happen arbitrarily or on its own. It was a concerted effort.”
The district encompasses Morningside Avenue to Fifth Avenue, but efforts are being made to have the BID span the length of 125th Street, Barbara Askins, the BID’s CEO, told DNAinfo. [DNAinfo] – Hiten Samtani

Whole Foods will prob be in that empty lot across the street from Rice High School.
I'm surprised they're just now doing something with that lot.
