You have to understand the layout of Nostrand/Fulton area..its incredibly dense...any 4 track wide subway station under such a narrow street would have devastated businesses along the route[sort of what the SAS is doing now along Second Avenue]...

You couldn't build a station like Utica Avenue or ENY in such close confines unless you destroy some property..something the business owners did not want.

Also..since there was a plan to build a route along Bedford avenue..it made sense to build it as an express station...as an upper/lower level type..

No muss..no fuss.
