He DESTROYED the WHOLE EASTSIDE of 3rd avenue A WHOLE HALF BLOCK DEEP to build his highway..taking HUNDEREDS of homes..Correct, but the controversy being discussed was the potential use of 2nd Ave instead for the Gowanas PARKWAY. You are talking about the Expressway some decades later, after the ROW was already there for the Gowanas on 3rd. Not to mention what he did to build the Narrows Bridge,its approach roads and ramps... But the approaches and ramps have to go somewhere for the much needed Narrows bridge. As for the narrows bridge. Wouldn't a tunnel have made more sense? Do you realize the grades that would be ncessary to take a train out of the subway and bring it up to the height of the VN Bridge? I'm not an engineer, but that would have to be some huge undertaking. The subway would have to come out in the middle of Brooklyn somewhere to allow the slope needed for a grade like that I would assume. |
