The original 1941 (see: Brooklyn Eagle, 12/06/1946) pre-War plans were to connect Euclid Ave with the Liberty Ave el AT Grant Ave, which would have to have been demolished for the connection. The first station after Euclid was supposed to have been 80th/Hudson. Neighbors in the area were appalled that 20-30 mostly residential buildings would have to be demolished. (Brooklyn Eagle, 11/15/1949). As its green (not Fulton-Pitkin IND white) subway tile will attest, it was planned after the war! |
