Posted by Edwards! on Tue Oct 15 14:00:11 2024, in response to Brooklyn Public Library IRT Station, posted by R46 5636 on Tue Oct 15 10:40:20 2024. It is more of a storage location now.Years ago, the Transit Authority planned to use the space for a Franklin Shuttle, Brooklyn Queens crosstown connector route. The plan was cancelled. The intent of the route as planned was an branch off the Flatbush Ave route to continue to the proposed Crosstown line. There was also a branch planned for Lafayette Avenue from DeKalb Ave, but it was redirected to Flatbush Ave and the Brighton line. The Lower Level of Nevins st was a "junction" station that branches off to several additional branches. The link would have been an excellent addition to the system, but the BOT, and TA decided not to build. The IRT links would have been today's 3rd Avenue ,or the 1st avenue subway. The Bowery station has a small box station built for this line above the J line tunnels,that could be accessed for the mezzanine. Brooklyn has plenty of these bellmouths and branch sections, but no plans for use at the time. |
