Posted by randyo on Tue Feb 5 00:00:50 2019, in response to Re: Park Avenue (Brooklyn), posted by Union Tpke on Mon Feb 4 20:22:19 2019. That was what the 1948 plans called for. By 1950, however, a B of T report I have shows the proposed connection to the LIRR ROW at what is now Liberty Jct. Apparently whatever caused construction to be suspended past the partial shell at 76 St (for those who believe) was discovered between the opening of Euclid in 1948 and the publication of the 1950 report. That report, by the way also shows the IND connection off the Qns Blvd Line 1t 63 Dr coexisting with Liberty Jct although how that would have been accomplished I don’t know. As the map shows, there would have been no problem with both connections coexisting with a Pitkin Av subway, but the way Liberty Jct was built it probably would have had to be at grade which is unusual for the IND. Regardless of which plan would have been pursued, the connection between the IND and the Fulton St el would have been built anyway. It was not an either/or but rather a both/and. |
