That pole has been there for 114 years. If anything they shouldn't have put a turnstile behind an existing pole.

The only reason those names are still around, and this includes the Flushing Line, was because people in the neighborhoods wanted the names preserved. The MTA has tried to get rid of them. But it's 2018 and many of those people are surely cadaverriffic by now. So I'm sure it matters much less at this date. Rawson, Lowery, and Bliss will never be removed because of the dual street signs outside of those stations. Instead of removing outdated names, another option is to have the City restore them, then they will become current. A few other once non existing station names are guaranteed to be preserved in the future because the City has already taken action to rename or co name areas near the subway stations 6 Av (L), 110 St stations (1), (2)(3), (B)(C), E 143 St (6). Restored in the future E 177 St (would be the 4th time MTA had to completely restore a station name they previously removed) Honorable mention: Continental Av (no longer on the subway map, but still in the station.) The old names on the were preserved recently (though will likely be removed from the stations in the far future). At one point MTA stopped removing historic names due to complaints. Lincoln and Fisk on the are in danger of being removed next since they weren't recently renovated. Unless they want to restore Lincoln and Fisk via the City Council. https://nypost.com/2012/10/07/subway-stations-retain-signs-listing-places-and-streets-that-no-longer-exist/ Edited January 26, 2019 by GreatOne2k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, though not all on the were preserved, Beach 67 - Gaston got its name changed to Arverne By The Sea, that won’t be going away anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Rockaway stations whose second names still make sense are Far Rockaway, 25th- Wavecrest, 67th-Arverne, and Rockaway Park (Edgemere kind of makes sense). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That concludes the Enhanced Station Initiative if you really think about it, since the QB and Fulton packages were removed when ESI was cancelled.

Both 34th Streets are definitely part of ESI package 4. And yes they are going through with it, the renovations are currently happening as the stations remain open. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
