Perhaps, if you had visited Pratt 40 years ago, instead of 4, you might have changed your tune! Your problem is that you have this armchair view of elevated lines which were obsolete back then- but might not be now! I have never heard any of the residents on Lexington Ave clamoring for bus or train service. Nor, have I read anything about Lex residents protesting closure of their el in 1950. Same with Myrtle Ave in 1969. I am aware of the bus service on Myrtle Ave. Finally, I have no idea why they put up a section of Brooklyn's first el over Lexington Ave. But, I guess things were different in the 1880's. |
