Grand Concourse Posted February 4, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 4, 2013 Although, it'd be a nice way of rubbing it in bloombergs face to see it every day going to city hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted February 4, 2013 Share #4 Posted February 4, 2013 That's very nice. He would love having a bridge and a subway station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted February 4, 2013 Share #5 Posted February 4, 2013 A little overboard.... The bridge was good enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted February 4, 2013 Share #6 Posted February 4, 2013 At least its better then SEPTA's Broad Street Line "AT&T Station" name (formally Pattison)... But I do agree, thats a bit too much... Can they even rename a station without MTA approval? I'm reading nothing on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro CSW Posted February 4, 2013 Share #7 Posted February 4, 2013 Imagine how it sounds when you say only the last name with subway station at the end. Weird...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R10 2952 Posted February 4, 2013 Share #9 Posted February 4, 2013 Another pointless, insubstantial initiative by absolutely useless local politicians. What's next, the Eduard Khil Memorial Terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Rider Posted February 4, 2013 Share #12 Posted February 4, 2013 Least it's better than letting that crazy lady rename Hoyt after micheal Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted February 4, 2013 Share #13 Posted February 4, 2013 IMO, if they renamed the street after him then it would be acceptable, for obvious reasons, but otherwise I don't really think it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted February 4, 2013 Share #14 Posted February 4, 2013 I'm still going to call it 77th St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Railfan Posted February 4, 2013 Share #15 Posted February 4, 2013 Wonder if they will change the announcement. "This is 77 Street - Ed Koch Station." Sounds too wordy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted February 4, 2013 Share #16 Posted February 4, 2013 Enough with teh stupid renaming of everything, removing the street or neighborhood names from the stations is just going to make things very confusing for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted February 4, 2013 Share #17 Posted February 4, 2013 Another way of making people confused. Wait, there is an Ed Koch bridge? Which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Rock Depot Posted February 4, 2013 Share #19 Posted February 4, 2013 Why is it ok to name an airport, street, bridge, tunnel, etc, after someone but not a subway station. First of all, This was a man who helped change NYC in a good, way. Second, this is a city known for its subways. I call it an honor. Didnt i see posts here crediting him for winning the war on subway graffiti. Wouldnt this be fitting? For the record, hes not the first to have multiple things named after them. But i do believe he's the first to have a subway station named after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MTA Bus Posted February 4, 2013 Share #22 Posted February 4, 2013 I'm not saying Ed Koch was a bad guy, but why are they naming a station after him when he already has the 59th St Bridge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted February 4, 2013 Share #23 Posted February 4, 2013 They will proly just put up a plaque or something, not change the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Posted February 4, 2013 Share #24 Posted February 4, 2013 Great, a bridge and a subway station for Ed Koch. Lets see what Giuliani and Bloomberg get when they move on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbr40 Posted February 4, 2013 Share #25 Posted February 4, 2013 they should just choose one. a subway stop or a bridge for his name is enough for memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
