No, the J line skip stop began at the same time the 8th Ave service ended, so they would not redesignate the letter like that to a totally unrelated line. The Canarise skip stop idea came much later, and "Y" was also considered for that.The signs had been printed years earlier, and from what I have heard once, they originally considering having K be both the 8th Ave local, and additional Jamaica service by through-routing them, via Chrystie St. (V also was eyed as running through the connection, as in this latest idea!) So I imagine when this did not materialize, K ended up on the 8th Ave segment as single letter counterpart to AA (I had thought H would be better, but that was at the same time reserved for the Rockways, as it was previously), and then they had to come up with Z as the new skip stop. (They could have also made Z the 8th Ave local, so it would have been a variation of the similar sounding C, which swallowed the line anyway). |
