"I understand that but you seemed to indicate that the portion to 96 St should not have been built and the south portion built instead."Maybe someone else said that, but I do not believe that I ever said that. I do not know what would make you think that I said something remotely like that. I'm in favor of building the entire Second Avenue Subway, from 125th Street to South Ferry! Along with the Queens extensions into south-eastern Queens, and the Queens Super-Express, I'd even throw in the Bronx segments except for the part about "re-capturing the parts of the IRT subways." I just don't believe that changing a line from IRT to IND/BMT suddenly by magic makes it better. I just don't. Again, I've always been in favor of building the whole Second Avenue Subway! While others freak out about the costs, and the ridership figures, etc. I don't. Yes, I'd like more reasonable cost figures, and less abuse/waste, etc. - but on the whole I'm favor of the entire project. I've held that position since I read about the plans for the Second Avenue Subway in the NYC Master Plan of 1968 in high school decades ago. That's the only "master plan" for the entire city that was ever produced by NYC's City Planning Department. The large copies of the document used to be in city libraries. As an urban planner these and other documents have fascinated and inspired me. As my instructors said decades ago, "Make No Small Plans." Mike |
