You can blame that on the high-water table underground. Engineers from the IND tried to explain that, along with potential flooding, to the local residents in 1930, but they insisted on a full subway to Ave U. It became academic when IND subway construction under Fulton St was halted in 1932 for lack of funding. Construction from Lewis Ave to Rockaway Ave resumed the following year. |
