If you notice in that photo, since Atlantic Av is very wide at that point, the el structure was able to be placed sufficiently away from the sidewalks so that blockage of the sunlight is minimized. Since both 2nd and 3rd Aves in Manhattan have been widened since the removal of the origina els, a 2 track concrete structure aesthetically pleasing and with an appropriate noise mitigating roadbed such as in DC or the Kennedy Airtrain could be built without seriuosly compromising the openness of the area. Convincing the local gentry of that, of course is another matter but a good public relations agent with the capability of selling sand to the Arabs might be able to accomplish it.
