Posted by randyo on Fri Jan 6 15:15:11 2012, in response to Re: Abandoned Utica Ave Upper Level (Pix Coming Soon), posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Jan 6 14:03:51 2012. Many of the original IND plans were extremely fluid. I have a copy of plans for the IND subway in Bkln which calls for it to continue straight down Fulton St to the Queens line and access the Fulton St el at 80 St from the north rather than from the south as it does now since the subway would not have been under Pitkin Av. As I said in many of my posts, I think that the main reason that the IND terminated at Rockaway Av for so long was that prior to unification, the route of the subway beyond that point had not been finalized. Once unification took place, the city was able to determine what it wanted to do since it was no longer really in direct competition with the BMT so the routes were reconfigured to blend with existing services rather than compete with them. |
