There's two major issues with that idea. The first is money. I haven't heard exact costs, but each line is likely somewhere around a billion dollars to run a subway. The money does not exist for one line, let alone both.
The other is logistics. Where would you run the trains if both lines were shut down at the same time? At least with doing 8th ave first, you could remain with status quo until construction is complete.
