In 1968, I was going to St Johns and living with my great-aunt on Marginal St East, a one block continuation of new Jersey Ave, parallel to the Interboro Pkwy (sorry, I'm old school with names!). The MTA erected a crane straddlng the unfinished incline to the overhead structure, just west of Alabama Ave station. It stayed up for a few months until it was taken down. Nobody ever found out any more about why it was never completed. We assumed that the $$$ went elsewhere. The Eastern Division was always the step-child of the BMT, Board of transportation, TA, and now, the MTA. |
