According to some transit historians, a plan to connect the Lenox Line to the Jerome Line via a connection to the Polo Grounds Shuttle was developed shortly after the 9 Av el was shut down and a scale model of the connection was supposed to have been built, to demonstrate the feasibility of it. Of course the clearance problem in the tunnel probably caused the project to be dropped but it definitely was considered. As I understand it, the ramp the connecting structure would have been built in approximately the same place as the current 148 St station is located and a new structure constructed to connect to the 155 St el station. Since I haven’t seen any sort of artist’s renderings or other info regarding the project, I can only surmise as to the actual route of the connection. |
