Unfortunately there weren't.And I said you were wrong. Read the article linked earlier in the thread; there was considerable protest. This is the same generation that let Penn Station fall. There were some slight opposiotion to that too....but not many either. That was completely different. Penn Station was an architectural gem and a functional train station, and when the former was destroyed it had no effect on the latter. The Myrtle Avenue el was a vital transportation link for a neighborhood that many people lived in (and were expected to move into). When Penn Station was slated for demolition, there was a small protest from people who appreciated beauty and history. When the Myrtle el was slated for demolition, there was a large protest from people who wanted to be able to get places and not have their neighborhoods cut off from public transportation. |
