From old photos I have seen of the area, there were no residents in the immediate area of the proposed 76 St station to do any complaining. Also, at that time, residents in the outlying areas of the city would beg to have rapid transit in their neighborhood with a subway station as close as possible. From articles I have read in old Marine Park and Sheepshead Bay newspapers, many of the newly built homes in those areas were sold because real estate agents convinced potential home buyers that the IRT subway would soon be extended to the Sheepshead Bay area making their commutes more convenient. |
