One of the problems with trying to combine the older second system proposals with later construction that was actually accomplished is that it would be very difficult for many of them to coexist. Connecting the Houston St Line with S 4 St and the Utica/Stuyvesant subway would have been problematic since the 2 middle tks of the Houston St line that would have gone into Williamsburg were diverted through Chrystie St to the Manny B. Adding the connection to the Willy B into the mix would create capacity problems on the 6 Av and Houston lcl tks. At some point you would have to decide which of the proposals you would want to keep and which ones yo would have to forget because you really wouldn’t be able to have both. In some cases the unification of 1940 eliminated the need for certain parts of the IND second system since those were designed specifically to put the BMT out of business which was no longer necessary since the city now owned the property. |
