Actually, the section between Atlantic (Actually just west of Penna Ave) and Hudson St would have needed to be rebuilt also in order for the Ashland Pl connection to make any sense since by that time only steel cars would have been allowed in the subway. There were 2 other semi non related issues that interfered with upgrading of the remaining portions of the Fulton El. One involved building of a new station on the Bway Bkln at Willy B plaza just west of and possible to replace Marcy Av. The other which actually was related involved relocating the Fulton St el in downtown Bkln off Fulton St and onto Adams St for a new connection to the Myrtle El and the Bkln Br. The conflict was over whether the city or the BRT would pay for those other 2 projects and the city refused to do any further upgrading of Fulton until the other issues were resolved which they never were. |
