Posted by MATHA531 on Thu Apr 19 09:44:41 2007, in response to Re: Whining......, posted by RonInBayside on Thu Apr 19 09:03:54 2007. I was "whining" about Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island if you read the post but I wasn't really whining...I was stating a fact in what I thought was a non perjorative manner. It is a fact that subway construction in the outer boroughs effectively ended when the IND South Brooklyn line opened in about 1940..since then there have been a few cosmetic things done such as extending the South Brooklyn IND down the Culver line, the opening of the Rockaway branch but there are still vast areas of Brooklyn and Queens which have no subway service and the point I was trying to make, and do remember the thread started about extending the Nostrand Avenue line, is that it ain't going to happen. We know city government is very Manhattan centric, whether it is justified or not is a matter of opinion..I dounderstand the idea of the CBD where most of the jobs are.This is the 21st century and the only places they are interested in building subways is in Manhattan...that is a point of fact. Whether it's because of NIMBY or whether it is simply a feeling that bus to the train service is adequate I don't know. But I still think the outer boroughs on most matters, including subway service, always seem to get the short end of the stick. |
