"The LIE possibly could use a subway but how many people live near the LIE? Where would you put those 50,000 car garages?"Why would you need 50,000 car garages? The LIRR seems to do fine with parking lots at all the stations. They could have done the same with the LIE. "Would you want people taking city streets to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel?" Horace Harding Boulevard pre-dated the LIE so they would not have been on local streets but on a surface parkway that probably would have been widened to three lanes each way, had Moses not built the LIE. "the Prospect Expressway, built int the 1950s. While many homes disappeared on 17th St. and Prospect Avenue, it connected Ocean Parkway to the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel" "the Clearview Expressway in Queens is missing a one-mile section that would safely and happily connect it with the Belt Parkway" Moses never intended for any of his Parkways or Expressways to dead end. I believe he wanted to have the Prospect Expressway go all the way to the Belt Parkway by tearing up Ocean Parkway. That one mile segment of the Clearview did not get built because of community opposition but Moses wanted it. Even if you look at how the West Shore Expressway is constructed, it was not intended to terminate at the Outerbridge Crossing. It was supposed to go another mile south to Hylan Boulevard which Moses also wanted to turn into an expressway. |
