Of course.The connection to the subway to the El was partially completed during the fourties... superstructure in tact along with station platform lengthening,signaling along the center track etc. The problems came along during WW2,when all Transit expansion work had to end. All the efforts were put on hold, indefinitely.. until funds were available to finish all work. Predominantly,this was completing the Fulton st subway eastern portion.. Completion of the 11thst cut.. Finishing the Smith st line Culver connection, and start the 10th Ave route from both the West End and Smith st connectors. Christie St construction had it's roots involved directly from the SAS..and was delayed until late 1957 However, the SAS was NOT INCLUDED WITHIN THE PLAN.. leaving several segments of the connection partially built. 1)Second Ave to the Williamsburg bridge.. 2)Second Ave to Nassau st loop.. 3)Sixth Ave Houston st to Nassau st loop. Many more were planned,but left off the table... However, out of all the routes in particular,not that the Culver was the easiest to complete , since most of the work was already done. There was even a working track connection between the two sections. Also,the 10th Ave route was continued under Ft Hamilton pky...to 86th st. It was removed from every program/project. No money..not enough interest. |
