Re: Nostrand Avenue (A) Station

There must be some early documentation on the plans or replanning the station. I think we need a pole: (1) configured the current way to to the width of the street/building line. or (2) a last minute design change.

Must IND local stations have a full mezzanine with the tracks two levels down. However, Franklin Ave. was built only one level down. Nostrand would have not been originally planned as an express stop as it was only 2 stations away from Utica. However, I can see an express stop there if the Nostrand/Bedford Ave. line was going cross. A much better location for an express stop should have been Franklun Ave.

There are many places in the city where two lines cross and one is a local stop, such as Columbus Circle and 14th/6th on the IND. Broadway/Roosevelt on the IRT, etc. My vote is #2.
