It was similar politics in Forest Hills that eventually killed the Super Express Bypass. The city and MTA weren't that keen on the cost of building Yellowstone Jct/reconfiguring Continental when the engineers sat down and looked at what was actually involved. The FH contingent wouldn't accept the 108th Street or Jewel alternative alignments that would have merged in Kew Gardens instead (even though the 108th one would have been well-utilized and provided a good deal of relief on the mainlne even if it only fed the 6th & Bway trunks). |
