I never heard of any plans to eliminate the Bway IRT to V/C although it does look like there is a provision for extension of the IND past 207 St. As for the Culver, it was always in the minds of the city planners to connect the IND to the Culver structure as was done in 1954. The Jamaica el removal only applied to the portion between Alabama Av and Cypress Hills which was to have been replaced by a new structure completely over Jamaica Av between E Pky/Bway Jct and Cypress Hills to eliminate the curves at Crescent St and Cypress Hills and provide a straighter route. The only proposal involving the Sea Beach Line was a proposal ti connect the Culver Line to the Sea Beach via a new structure along Bay Pky, a ramp down to the Sea Beach ROW at that point and demolishing the Culver structure between Bay Pky and W 8 St. Although the original plans called for the iND to replace the Fulton St El for its entire length, by the time WW II had started, the decision had been made to recapture the outer portion of Fulton and connect it to the Fulton St subway as was done. |
