Suheidy Posted April 6, 2009 Share #29 Posted April 6, 2009 I wish the Bronx portion of the 3 Avenue (8) remained from 149 Street to Gun Hill Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelhamExpress6 Posted April 6, 2009 Share #31 Posted April 6, 2009 I miss the 3 Avenue El from 149 Street to Gun Hill Road. I don't think it's fair that Brooklyn/Bronx/Queens could have elevated lines and Manhattan can't. What makes Manhattan so special? At least if the Third Avenue El remained, the Lexington Avenue lines wouldn't be a crowded mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if the Third Avenue El remained, the Lexington Avenue lines wouldn't be a crowded mess. It's much more easier to maintain els in the outer boroughs than in Manhattan. And also, you can't replace all the els in the outer boroughs with subways. The Third Ave El in Manhattan got pulled down because the real estate people were advocating against it, and there was relatively no group advocating for it.

MTR Admiralty Posted April 7, 2009 Share #34 Posted April 7, 2009 The Second Avenue El could have remained. The alignment was good also, it covered a lot of ground in Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
