Posted by randyo on Wed Jul 27 15:08:40 2016, in response to Re: williamsburg bridge terminal: New Trolley Stop on Bridge Plaza, posted by Elkeeper on Tue Jul 26 20:04:16 2016. Third tracking/rebuilding did take place between Atlantic (actually Hinsdale St) and Nostrand but the third tracking west of Nostrand as well as the third tracking/rebuilding between Hinsdale and Grant was delayed due to the dispute of who would pay for the Willy B plaza station. It wouldn’t have made any sense for the BRT to rebuild into downtown unless the entire el were rebuilt since the eventual end was to have steel cars operate the entire length of the Fulton St el and into the proposed Ashland Pl connection. It’s not so much that there was no money available as to whose money would be used. According to the PSC report I read, the city was willing to complete the rebuilding of the entire Fulton El provided that the BRT paid for the new station at Willy B plaza and the stalemate resulted in nothing being done other than what was done between Hinsdale and Nostrand. |
