Had the Crosstown line been built under Franklin Ave, it would have been an express stop. In the late 1920's there were a lot of visions to make Fulton Street, minus the el, into a long shopping/business avenue. The proponents of running the Crosstown line under Lafayette Ave won out. Their argument was that the best way to enlarge the Downtown area was to expand it, immediately north-west of Fulton St, along Lafayette. |
