Posted by RonInBayside on Sun May 13 17:55:55 2007, in response to Re: May 11, 1975. . .End of the Culver shuttle, posted by Edwards! on Sun May 13 17:35:03 2007. Other way around. The MTA decided to keep the El and the business community pushed the agency to rip it down early. Then everyone was sorry.The opening of the Archer Av line was three years behind schedule, which, if the El had kept running, wasn't horrible considering the fiscal crisis MTA had survived. The Archer Av line was begun in 1972. The 63rd st extension was begun in 1968, and opened in 1989. 63rd St, time wise, took a lot longer, though certain individual subprojects, like the placement of the East River tunnel boxes, were accomplished on time and on budget. As I said, spilled milk. The trains are running now. The TA is going to deliver more new capacity in 2012 or 2013. Be grateful for what you have. In Kansas City we have zip by comparison. |
