Posted by randyo on Fri Oct 13 15:30:35 2017, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac for October 10, posted by Lou From Middletown NY on Wed Oct 11 18:40:04 2017. That was one of the reasons that a subway under Lex Av between 23 St and G/Cent to connect with the then under construction Lex Av Line N/O G/Cent was started. The IRT was displeased with the PSC assigning the 4 Av subway to the BRT that it withdrew from dual contract participation. With the prospect of the IRT not connecting the Lex Av Line to the original subway, the PSC started construction of the lower Lex. Additionally, the new lines in the Bronx that would not be directly connected to the existing lines, the Pelham and Jerome, would also go to the BRT instead of the IRT as extensions of a BRT operated Lex line. When the IRT realized that it would be more important for it to have the additional Bronx lines than an additional Bkln line, it reentered the negotiations and plans were again modified to set up the Lex and the new Bronx lines as they exist today and construction of the Lex line S/O G/Cent was stopped and the partially constructed tunnels filled in. |
