Posted by randyo on Sun May 17 02:12:06 2020, in response to Re: Original Sea Beach Route-What Is Gold St.?, posted by BrooklynBus on Sat May 16 20:07:09 2020. As differentiated from Gold St, the name of the station wasn’t completely changed, but the name Canal St was added above the mosaic. When the lower level at Canal first opened it was supposed to be only “temporary” since the Manny B tks to Bway were finished ahead of the lower Bway Subway and the Montague St tunnel. The BRT opted to build a temporary ramp from the lower level to the main Bway Line in order to get Southern Div service to Bway rather than wait for the rest of the line in lower Manhattan to be completed. Since the lower level station was eventually intended to be made apart of the planned Canal St Xtown line and the temporary ramp removed, the BRT didn’t feel it was necessary to make a permanent alteration to the station mosaic. As originally planned the upper level at C/Hall was supposed to be a 2 tk stub terminal for Bway Lcls and the lower level was supposed to be the through express station with the middle used for short turns from either direction depending on what service pattern might have been needed. When the Montague St tunnel was completed, for plans for the Cnal St Xtown line had been shelved so it was decided to leave the exp tks connected to the Manny B and build a false floor for the upper level tks S/O C/Hall and make them the through tks and not use the lower level for any sort of passenger service. |
