These moves hurt many more than they helped, as the Bronx east of Webster has never recovered.Please state source and stats for this alleged fact. I am sure the hundreds of millions that use the Cross Bronx would disagee with you. And Bushwick, which was able to fight off the Bushwick Expressway right down Bushwick Ave, fell all on it's own, even nwithout the Bushwick Expressway, and as well as many neighborhoods that didn't have an "expressway" brought through. There are many factors that "killed" Brooklyn and the Bronx, and that all can't be blamed on an "expressway" that passed through, and didn't pass through many other parts of the Bronx or Brooklyn that fell just as hard. Where is all the hardship Maspeth suffered when the LIE was cut right through it's heart? Maspeth never fell, and neither did many parts of Queens, that had lots of demolition, loosing entire sides of streets right down the path of the LIE. Horace Harding Blvd was a regular road, not wide enough for a 6 lane expressway, with side median and serivce roads....how do you think they cut the LIE through? An entire side of the street, and half of every block in was demolished. And the Path through Maspeth for the LIE was very similar to what happened for the Cross Bronx. |
