Re: Smith-9th Streets/4th Avenue

I'm quite familiar with what happened.
After the boom, they were pretty happy with the situation as far as keeping the direct route to lower Manhattan and other places.
Also, you might want to recall the Archie Bunker/George Jefferson types wanting to keep certain ethnic groups out of the Woodhaven etc nabs.

It's was one of the prime reasons why the Montauk/Rockway lines wasn't cconverted to subway use.

Granted, things have changed despite those sentiments for the better, but because of all that Nimby money fighting against everything coming down the pike.. We are still stuck with the limited capacity
we had when the line opened, with less service TA boot.
