When the City decided to make Nostrand Ave an express station, there were plans to build a line under Bedford Ave with a free transfer between the lines. An express stop at Franklin Ave would have been a shorter transfer walk. However, the City "rebuilt" Nostrand Ave from a local stop to an express one because of plans for a satellite business district, centered at Fulton & Nostrand. The City even enticed the Brevoort Savings Bank to build their headquarters on the site of the old Fulton Theater there. Unfortunately, nobody else followed their example. |
