But you can blame the configuration of the Fulton St. portion for preventing it's installation. The street is simply too narrow to have a traditional el with 3 tracks and side platforms, especially around Cleveland and Van Siclen. That's probably why this portion of the el didn't get the rebuild we saw along Broadway or upper Myrtle. The el should have been moved from Fulton to Jamaica Ave when the rest of the Jamaica Ave el was under construction, so a straight run into Eastern Parkway could be maintained. With three tracks and an express stops at Suthphin Blvd and Woodhaven Blvd, transportation time from Jamaica to Chambers St. could be cut by 12-15 minutes. |
