Posted by zac on Sat Jan 30 07:30:13 2016, in response to Possible new 76th Street Evidence and summary, posted by Union Tpke on Thu Jan 28 20:17:46 2016. I can't say that I saw anything in the articles that suggests 76th was ever built or started. Just that it was planned, and that construction was completed to Euclid. I read through the "construction halted" articles hoping to find some mention of construction beyond Euclid but didn't see anything.And the comments at the end of the long post about the utilities possibly building the tunnels as they were doing other work is just impossible. Building a subway tunnel costs a lot of money above and beyond the needs of the utility and is a major project. Where would that money have come from? My skepticism aside, I don't dismiss the possibility that it exists. I passed through on my bike last summer to check it out and it still seems strange that Pitkin is wide enough for a 4 track subway underneath in that area. It wouldn't have been widened before the construction, but only as the result of the construction. |
