(b) Mayor Laguardia in the 1930's wanted the EL's in Manhattan (and ALL streetcars also) GONE by June 1960 by his enacted executive order...so no improvements or perservation maintenance (except as absolutely necessary and rudementary for maintaing day to day operations and safety priorites) were deemed necessary by the IRT to waste scarce revenue money on....Is that the reason why the Bronx section of the 3rd Ave el was in bad shape by the 1970's? The city must have been really cheap! |
