Posted by E and F and sometimes J on Thu Jan 26 15:18:50 2012, in response to Euclid Ave Platforms, posted by Avid Reader on Wed Jan 25 21:18:02 2012. Are you actually referring to the platform at Grant Ave? That one is narrow. I have not noticed that the platform at Euclid is more or less narrow than most IND express platforms, but some of the busier ones are wider than others.The whole of the IND system from the 1940's onward seems like a step backwards from a design point of view. It's like the ghost of the IRT designers rose up and demanded no full-length mezzanines, and center platform exits with only one way out. It's 1904 all over again. Grand St, is the worst offender. That busy station desperately needs a full length mezzanine and should have probably been built with an island platform. This station should have resembled 57th St. But instead it functions more like 23rd St, on the Lex. |
