Posted by Elkeeper on Tue Jun 21 17:11:39 2022, in response to Re: Another Subway Mystery Curio (Re: Question About the “L” BMT line), posted by K. Trout on Tue Jun 21 15:33:48 2022. The decision to extend the 14th St line from 6th to 8th Ave was initiated by the City. IND subway construction had begun in 1925. They wanted a transfer point with the IND 14th St & 8th Ave station, when the line opened in 1932. Moving the BMT platform farther west might have benefited the 9th Ave el, which the City considered an obsolete, competing elevated line. |
