If the Utica/Stuyvesant subway had been completed, what would have been the future of the Jamaica line. Would it have been razed? Would the BMT east of Delancy-Essex have descended into a tunnel on the Brooklyn side, to become the outside local tracks at S. 4th St.?

Also on the 1929 map once the Utica Stuyvesant subway turns SE onto Utica AVE, there is a short stretch with no transit route at all, between the Utica Ave. route and Bway East NY. There are slo turnouts for a two track Jamaica Ave subway, east of B'way Junction on the IND correct? Would any plans have ever been designed to complete the Stuyvesant Ave. route directly to the B'way East NY location and perhaps, continue as the Jamaica Ave. subway (with perhaps, fulton st. tracks' extension merging with it? (a four track line maybe? two fulton St. & two Stuyvesant route?)
