All of the BMT line stations were planned to be expanded to 10 cars..The Eastern Division was exceptional,due to its dual contract construction methods..it would have been difficult to do,but not impossible..and Not as "costly" as some here would have you believe[at least at the time of the planning].. What happened to throw the expansion off track was a number of factors..such as the city's budget crisis..which was drying up the MTA/TA pocket book..The MTA/TA total indifference to the Eastern Division lines...the downward spiral of the neighborhoods along the routes..the demise of the planned Second Avenue Route,which the BMT Broadway Jamaica line was going to be a part of...and the cancellation of a planned route relocation of the Fulton st section... Todays reasoning is a "panty waste" excuse..and not worth getting into. |
