Posted by Elkeeper on Sat Jun 18 23:05:25 2022, in response to Re: Another Subway Mystery Curio (Re: Question About the “L” BMT line), posted by Edwards! on Fri Jun 17 16:05:27 2022. The 8th Ave station on the 14th St line was opened in 1931, a year before the IND 8th Ave subway opened. There was never any serious talk about Unification or joint service via any track connection back then.As for Utica Ave projects, the biggest problem was potential flooding of any subway tunnels built under the street, south of Kings highway. Local opposition to an elevated line south of Kings Hwy as well as lack of funding shelved the projects. The IND did not have funding in the early 1930's, nor did the BoT have the money in the early 1950's, due to the bond funding diversions. |
