Posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Wed Aug 30 14:50:45 2006, in response to Re: Reopening old underpasses - Atlantic Av IRT, posted by Terrapin Station on Wed Aug 30 14:26:02 2006. I raised a pressing issue that has to be addressed.If you take a look at the abandoned side of the 4/5 middle platform as well as the southbound 2/3 side, you will see there is not much width to the only staircase, nor there is enough room to access that staircase when a large crowd pours out of a southbound train. The local platform side is a bit wider than the epxress platform but is still narrow for future use once Atlantic Yards is complete. As for your question about when it was closed, I don't know. Based on the condition of the warehouse (this side of the block has been neglected for the many years I've lived in Brooklyn.), it's difficult to draw any conclusions. This side is the 8 car extension but not the 1950s/60's entension to ten cars, the latter extension is at the north end. I'd rather not take any guesses on when this side is closed, the same goes for the closed south end of the 7th Ave/BMT Brighton station. If you still like to be anal about it, go ahead. At least I responded with a repsectful answer, even though it didn't answer your question. Perhaps Bill Newkirk or someone else might know. |
