Turning onto Clinton, and then turning again onto an east/west street might require more houses to be demolished than just a straight continuation.Schermerhorn west of Smith is narrow (was not widened by the IND), and there is just enough room for the station. Judging by other turns, ~17 brownstones would need to be taken out for a south turn, or ~14 brownstones and an apartment building for north turn. This does not include any more demolitions for the west turn. Extending Schermerhorn to Henry would require ~15 demolitions. That might give enough grade for a TBM to go under the remaining houses. Of course, neither option will ever happen. Even if funding magically appeared, tearing down this many houses in one of the most politically connected landmark districts in the city is a project killer. |
