Re: Possible new 76th Street Evidence and summary

From what I have read here, the East NY tunnel ended under Pennsylvania Ave/Fulton St. (The 1930 plans had it ending under Jamaica Ava at Alabama Ave.) Interesting to read that some of the proposed condemnation involved properties on New Jersey Ave and Vermont St. I had read another article where the route would run diagonally from Penn/Fulton to Vermont/Pitkin. This would have meant condemnation of the buildings on the blocks between Pennsylvania and New Jersey Aves and New Jersey Ave and Vermont St, where it intersects with Pitkin Ave. There would have been no present Liberty Ave station.

This was a great find, Union Tpke! I had always believed that there was something that continued under Pitkin Ave, east of Conduit Ave. Hopefully, someone may be able to access one of those manholes mentioned and find the remnants of 76th Street station.
