Posted by randyo on Mon Sep 7 15:30:46 2020, in response to If the Broadway Line had been built north of 57th-7th, posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Aug 27 01:41:31 2013. From what I have seen of various plans for rapid transit expansion in NY, The BMT spur N/O 57/7 was supposed to continue north and operate up CPW to some point in upper Manhattan. I seem to recall somewhere that the subway was actually supposed to be built under Central Park itself immediately east of CPW itself, but friends of the park objected. Eventually when the city built the IND line up CPW it had to be built in such a way that no part of the subway infrastructure including entrances would encroach on park property. |
