Posted by K. Trout on Mon Feb 10 22:57:53 2020, in response to Re: IND FULTON/NOSTRAND ENTRANCES TO BE REOPENED, posted by Andrew Saucci on Sun Feb 9 16:10:43 2020. It would have diverged south of DeKalb* and run east/north along Lafayette and Union Aves, more or less the same path as the G, and then connected to the Astoria el. (I believe there was even a second phase envisioned that would have turned west from Ditmars and more or less followed the path of the Triboro Bridge and then become a 125 St crosstown.) The idea was shelved due to local opposition as noted.The general premise of downtown-Bed Stuy-Williamsburg-LIC was revived for the IND. *The turnoff at DeKalb had already been constructed and was instead used for the Brighton connection, which sort of explains the awkward curve. |
