No, it narrows to two, then exands for three at Bedford, then expands to four, the middle tracks descending to a dead end. This was for a connection to the Myrtle/Central/Rockaway line. |

Posted by randyo on Mon Sep 14 14:09:47 2009, in response to Re: South 4th Street, posted by Think twice on Mon Sep 14 08:55:56 2009. That's something like the way the Hoyt/Schermerhorn complex was built. From what I have heard, the current parking lots between Schermerhorn and State Streets were just empty lots with not buildings on them in the 1930s. As a result the large station at Hoyt was able to be built with a minimum of resistance from area residents since there were none to speak of. Also in Manhattan, 6 Av did not extend much farther south than W3 St until the IND was built when it was extended south to meet Church St at Canal St. |

That may be, but since the line widens out at Bed/Nost for that Rockaway Line it would make sense for the provision for the center track to have been made continuous all the way from Classon. |

The 30's sound like a feeding frenzy.Plus there's the Culver Viaduct tunnel entrances through Park Slope and Carroll Gardens and the widening of Houston Street. The merchants along 57th Street may have been one of the few to stymie the IND planners. |
