Subways Debate Route Change for Broadway Lexington Line
The North Side Board of Trade and the South Bronx Property Owners Association urged the Public Service Commission to relocate the Broadway and Lexington Avenue subway to place the 13th Street station at Third Avenue and split Jerome Avenue and Westchester Avenue lines north of that point. Commissioner Eustis warned such a shift would cause sharp curves and time losses on the Jerome branch, noting existing curves exist on the elevated and current subway. The plan would require private property construction, and the Manhattan branch would be built first.
