Despite criticism, routing was changed from 61st St to 63rd St in 1963*. You are right about Rockefeller Univ's seismograph argument. Also remember who was governor- Nelson "I'm cuming, Leslie, but my heart is going"- Rockefeller. The Citizens Budget Committee wanted the original 61st St route, so that transfers could be made at 60St/5Av and 60St/Lex. They said that a 63rd st tunnel would be underused, since it had no transfers. sadly, the politicos won again.* A HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM, part III, by Cunningham and DeHart, page 50. |
