Re: Mystery Middle Track on New Lots IRT?

randyo has often posted that 169th had a wooden platform so that it could be more easily demolished as part of any eastward extension, and the BMT had plans to extend both the Jamaica and Liberty els to an undetermined common eastern terminal.

What I wonder is whether there were ever plans to extend the Livonia El eastward into Queens. An extension that should have been done and sadly wasn't is an extension of the 3 into what is now the Gateway Center. It can still be done, but it would have been better before they built buildings as they could have built the extension midblock with sound walls that would have mitigated the impact on the new residents of the development.
