The reason why Utica was built that way was due to foresight..the BOT planned a line under Utica avenue to South Brooklyn and THIS STATION was a major transfer point between both services.Since BOTH lines were to be four track systems..it was expected to generate a great deal of traffic from riders coming and going between the two. Property was taken on BOTH sides of Fulton st[BOYS and GIRLS HS sits directly above the Queens bound track and blocks the UTICA AVENUE SUBWAY south, rendering it useless. |
