From the October, 1968 New York Division ERA Bulletin "On September 20, 1968 the city Board Of Estimate approved the construction of several subway routes, reported to be the greatest at least since the dual contracts of 1968. The approved routes(13 in all, real fantasy map stuff here) are:

20- Elimination of the the Present BMT Canarsie Line south from Broadway Junction to Rockaway Parkway and relocation along the proposed Queens Interboro Expressway, which would run parallel to the present line to near Linden Blvd(Between New Lots and East 105 Street Stations) the Queens Interboro expressway would join the proposed Cross Brooklyn Expressway. The replaced Canarsie Line would then turn east along the Cross Brooklyn Expressway, which would run Parallel Flatlands Ave Ave and terminate near the Queens-Brooklyn Border."

There was also an 'A' branch which would run west along the 'CBX' to an unknown terminal, using a 'to be determined conveyance.

Such a line would screw the passengers to or from Rockaway Parkway Station.
