Re: 1938 NYC BOT document showing original plan for 76th Street as Elderts Lane

I always wondered why they chose that option, as opposed to a connection from 149th St, up Gerard Ave, to join the #4 at 161St St. Was the IRT obligated to provide service from Sedgwick Ave for NY Central Putnam trains, as part of the Putnam swingbridge purchase? it seems like it. The NYCTA waited until the Putnam line closed, before shutting down the remaining Polo Grounds shuttle.
