Posted by SLRT on Fri Nov 12 12:26:14 2010, in response to Re: NYPD arrested 20 people ''Underbelly Project''—abandoned station (S4 St), posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Fri Nov 12 12:13:50 2010. "The South Fourth Street station was intended as a primary transfer point for subway lines that would have stretched from Lower Manhattan into Brooklyn and Queens, part of an ambitious expansion of the subway system planned by the city in 1929. The Great Depression forced officials to abandon the proposal, but not before bits and pieces of the proposed network had been built."No, the Great Depression actually helped complete what is now the current IND system, by depressing wages and other costs and making federal money available. The Second System didn't get off the ground because the city spent so lavishly on the First System, refusing private investment, and skyrocketing the rapid transit debt. |
