Did it look like it might have been part of a provision for the Second System's Utica Ave. subway? It definitely was the second-system provision, but back then I had no idea about that, and just wondered why our station had to go so deep. One of the IND's few mis-steps was putting the shell for the potential second-system line at Utica Av above the fully-realized Fulton St line. The shell should have been built beneath the Fulton St line. As it is now, the riders exiting at Utica Av have to walk up two extra flights every time, for no reason other than poor planning. An underneath shell would have been just as available for expansion as the above shell. They should have given the prime station location (nearer the street) to the first line built, not to some possible future line. (Spoiler alert: the second system never got built.) |
