Once again, it was not "billions." If you're going to argue a point, check your facts. No single subway project in New York reached the billion mark at that time.The 63rd st project and SAS werre started previous to the Archer project, and then interrupted. The 63rd st Extension opened a year after Archer. Your observations have little basis in reality. Once the El was taken down in favor of a subway that was to reach further than the El, the TA's only responsible action was to finish it. They did, though not to the extent desired. In the 1960s Jamaica was in dire need of better subway service, just as much as the UES, but for different reasons. The Archer Av line triggered a reinvestment in the community and helped in the effort to increase employment and reduce crime. Archer Av's ROI is very high and was worth every penny spent on the project. |
