But why the absence of sidewalk on that section in the '51 pic?Because there were no sidewalks yet. It was wasteland yet. But the drops could be 3 feet, could be 4 feet, could be 7 feet, but the subway could be 8 feet. No one knows how deep the subway is supposed to be there, even if it was built. They build a mostly finished subway station that would extend into the adjacent lots and don't even bother to extend sidewalks over the finished station? Nothing strange about that at all. The sidewalks would be silly to add if construction on the lots is not even done yet, especially in brand new construction. You usually see sidewalks around vacant land when a prior building was removed and the sidewalk is the sidewalk that was there when the old buildings were still there. With new construction, why risk putting in all the brand new sidewalks when it's likely to get damaged with all the construction and vehicles. And especially in an area where few people are even walking. |
