Wait a minute...

You might have that confused..

Utica Avenue was planned..even DESIGNED..up untill the bottom dropped out of the PLAN FOR ACTION.
The only thing that didn't happen was the contracts being let..as it was ready to go by the early 70's.

The Flatbush avenue plan was BEFORE the full Nostrand plan..

The L line extention was dropped due to the neighborhood fight with MOSES over his Cross Brooklyn Expressway plan..part of which the subway would have used.
The FULL PLAN for the L line turned into a simple relocation as far as Rockaway Pkway on the Bay Ridge line.
