You could easily append a subway map of Staten Island and still be under 
the wire. :-)

I think it's excellent.  The only thing that looks odd to me is referring 
to the Union Sq stop as "4Av."  Yeah, it makes the 'L' train stations 
appear to be consistently named, but it's not called 4th Avenue, it's Union 
Square.  Times Sq is aka 42nd St, Herald Sq is aka 34th St, Union Sq is if 
anything aka 14th St, not 4th Ave.
