Posted by Edwards! on Thu Apr 19 23:38:52 2007, in response to Re: No, The outer boros get shafted (was: Re: Whining......), posted by J trainloco on Thu Apr 19 22:23:59 2007. None of my posts were meant to "Impress You", nor did I ever imply such.Lets start going thur some of the details... You DID say the 50's..right? Let me fill you in on something. Every single route that was built since the 50's was a completion of the Board of Transportation system or route planning. Even the PRESENT DYRE AVENUE LINE was a part of that plan.. It was part of the Second system plan that after closer inspection and actually ASKING the Bronx riders What they wanted..connected the line to the West Farms line. The De Kalb Avenue rebuild? A BOT plan refecting the SECOND AVENUE SUBWAY. Chrystie St..?The EXTREMELY curtailed version of the SECOND AVENUE SUBWAY.. 6th Avenue Bypass tunnels? Part of the SECOND AVENUE SUBWAY project. Rockaway Line..? An BOT IND SECOND SYSTEM ROUTE that was actually USED. 57th st/6th Avenue..?Part of the IND SECOND AVENUE PROJECT. South Brooklyn IND takeover of the Cluver line..?Planned by the BOT as part of the IND's original route,as well as part of a new route to Fort Hamilton Pky...and the West End Elevated. 11th st Cut..?A BOT answer to the lack of Manhattan bound local service on the Queens Blvd local[BKLYN QNS CROSSTOWN].. 148th st Lenox Terminal..?Hey..it provided a new station for Harlem and a FULL terminal for 3 trains..replacing one of the original shops of the IRT subway from 1904. 63RD st..?Also part of a BOT plan thought the location of the tunnel changed from 76THstreet to where the present tunnel is located.Even the Super Express was part of it..just like Archer Avenue was. The point is.. All of the routes ABOVE were products of the 30's..envisioned by the BOT..most directly spawned from the planned SECOND avenue subway. Sure everybody benefited from them..but the CORE of them was to benefit Manhattan. |
