Posted by Bill Newkirk on Wed Aug 9 18:51:07 2017, in response to Re: Question: Why No Station at 188th Street/Hillside Avenue?, posted by Spider-Pig on Wed Aug 9 16:23:30 2017. 179th Street was built significantly later than the rest of the line. 169th opened in 1939 and 179th in 1950. It was the last station of the classic IND to be opened. The next new subway station was Grant Avenue in 1956.I am aware of this. However, the original question was why stop at 179th St and not extend the line to 188th St. Someone must know the real reason why. Bill Newkirk |
