By the time the line was actually built people no longer wanted els running through the streets. They killed the idea of the crosstown el from QBP to wherever before it even got on the drawing board in 1913 and it wasn't going to fly in 1923 either. They were able to build the Flushing line because the area wasn't densely populated yet, but Bushwick and Greenpoint already were. Also, the BRT would be on the hook for an el but the city would pay for the subway. |
