Actually, the first double letter elimination was when the KK became the k in the early 1970s and I recall seeing a few R-1/9s with one of the Ls on the LL roll sign painted out since it was also planned to make the LL into the L around the same time although ti wasn’t done at that time. One of the reasons it wasn’t done back then was the so called MTA planners couldn’t figure out what to do about the AA since it was at the time the only line that had the same letter in both a single and double letter configuration. In 1976 that problem was solved when the Bway Bkln K was eliminated and the letter K was assigned to the former AA route. |
