There was just too much to do: Build a subway-to el connector, rehab the 155St/8Av el station, replace steam powered Putnam Bridge, remove Sedgewick Ave station platforms (Putnam gone- not needed anymore), widen tunnel east of Anderson/Jerome, plus other rehabs on the 40 year old structure (in 1958). If you really wanted to go to the west side of Manhattan, just take the "D" or "CC" (back then) to 59th Street/Columbus Circle and catch the #1. |
