As I have mentioned before in threads on this subject, as part of a total dual contract package, a new station at Willy B plaza was to have been constructed along with the relocation of the Fulton St el tracks in downtown Bkln west of Boerum Pl off Fulton St and onto Adams St. The BRT and the PSC were haggling over who would pay for the last 2 projects and the PSC refused to finance any further rebuilding of the Fulton St el until that issue was resolved which, of course, it wasn't. Had the entire Fulton St el end to end been upgraded to hold steel cars, the rapid transit picture in Bkln would have been quite different. Even if the Fulton St El were not connected to the 4 Av Subway at Ashland Pl as was planned, it probably would have been connected to the IND subway somewhere in downtown Bkln. after unification. |
