Posted by Wallyhorse on Thu Jan 8 06:48:25 2009, in response to Re: Why was 179th St/Jamaica 13 years late?, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Jan 6 12:13:50 2009. Exactly:The parts where homes were destroyed to make way for the highways would have been even WORSE had a median been built for mass transit. While yes, NOW that would not have looked so bad in retrospect, it was bad enough at that time and some areas have never fully recovered from what happened at that time. Those diagrams spell that out very well. The mentality in general then was far different than it is 75 years later when we know the needs for new transit. |
