Posted by Spider-Pig on Sat Mar 30 11:01:46 2019, in response to Re: [PHOTOS] SIRT Abandoned South Beach Branch, posted by Spider-Pig on Thu Mar 28 23:31:28 2019. It seems that a lot of sources claim that the Verrazano toll plaza was built in the way of the South Beach Branch. It wasn't.PROFF That is a 1951 aerial photo. Click on "Map Type" in the upper right hand corner and change to the 1996 aerial. The view will fade from 1951 to 1996, and you can see that the Lily Pond Avenue underpass is perfectly aligned with the old ROW. The 1996 aerial also has the original toll plaza fully intact, and it shows that no part of it occupies the old ROW. In fact, the underpass could have been used to restore the South Beach Branch, provided that the street were narrowed and the interchange reconfigured. |
