You are the one who is arguing that those crosses are intersections and not Battle Flags! They didn't use crosses at Herald Square and Circles at Columbus Circle because the tiles were not based on intersection geometry. Columbus Circle has navigational tools to commemorate an important figure associated with the station: Christopher Columbus. Same thing with Astor Place and the beaver for John Jacob Astor. In the same vein, the tiles at Times Square commemorate Ochs, without whom the square would not be named Times. |
