I think it was probably due to money. The City built the Lefferts extension, but the older piece, between Atlantic and Grant, would have to have been built by the BRT. After third tracking the Fulton el, between Utica and ENY and upgrading and connecting the Canarsie line to Atlantic Ave and Broadway Jct, in 1919, there probably was little left for Pitkin Ave. |
