Posted by Michael549 on Thu Nov 22 15:06:42 2007, in response to Segmented or closed IND mezzanines, posted by G1Ravage on Wed Nov 21 06:36:49 2007. There are some other examples of closed off passageways that I can think of, although they are not on the IND lines:1) At the 149th Street-Third Avenue station on the downtown side there was a set of stairways that lead to a lower passageway to the uptown side, and to the entrance to the Third Avenue Elevated trains. From the uptown side there was an opening to a passageway that lead to the Third Avenue El, and the passageway from the downtown train. Thus at this station one was able to transfer between the uptown and downtown bound trains. After the removal of the Third Avenue El in the Bronx, a part of this passageway was closed. When the station was renovated, all remaining evidence of these passageways was removed. 2) At the Canal Street station where the R and W trains stop, I am positive that there used to be two sets of stairways near the entrance to the passageway that is used to transfer to N, Q, J, M, and Z trains. In addition the passageway to reach the downtown R and W train platform seems to be half of the width that my memory tells me. Yes, realize that the Canal Street station for the J,M and Z-trains was "cut in half" with some of those passageways closed off, as well as the Bowery Street station. 3) There were a few passageways between the uptown and downtown platforms that were closed, for example, at Astor Place (#6) and a couple of other local stations. At Astor Place, I believe some of the newer tile work shows where the stairways were located. 4) I believe that the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Station on the A,C and G-trains was one station that has some major mezzanine issues.
