I would love to see them restore as much of that platform as might be left back there. Not sure how much of the space the IRT wall took, as you can still see elements of the platform (such as columns) sticking out of the new wall. The IRT station is also actually higher than the BMT. If nothing else, put up a new wall (as far back as you can) in the old tile style of the rest of the station.Since at least some of that space is occupied by the stairs and north end passageway between the two stations, I would make the passageway level with the platform and open it up, restoring at least that much of it so that you would actually be using that small piece of the platform when transferring; like what they did with the middle platform at 59th St. I would finish off the station by hanging huge pendant dome lights in all that air space! |
