And we know why they weren't. Obviously, that generation could not have thought 60-80 years later mass transit would have the ridership it does today.I noted a while back how if the 3rd Avenue El had been rebuilt in the 1950's and '60s, it likely would have had numerous station consolidations on a line that would have seen 10-car trains, what had been the Park Row branch likely extended twice (first from Chambers to the World Trade Center in the early '70s and then Battery Park City in the '80s/early '90s) and then after 9/11 possibly seeing a third branch built that likely would today be known as the Brookfield Place branch (after the former World Financial Center) as part of rebuilding and strengthening the entire 3rd Avenue El (with what would have been 59th-60th Street moved north to 60th-63rd Street to include a transfer to the (F) for now and (Q) when the SAS starts as well as the 4/5/6/N/Q/R at 60th). |
