The  downside is that NJT commuters, who now use platforms between the 
7th and  8th Ave subways and a long additional block from the BMT 
Broadway line  will now be a long block from the 7th and two long blocks 
from the  BMT.


    I don't think that there is any intent to abandon  the existing stations 
or limit access to them by NJ Transit patrons.  The  new station is designed 
to supplement these facilities, not replace them.
 
    The question remains why anyone will want to use  the new station, which 
is less conveniently located than the old one in a number  of respects.  I 
don't fully understand why this new station is needed for  NJ Transit.
