Interborough Proposes Brooklyn Manhattan Subway-Elevated Link
The Interborough Rapid Transit Company asked the Public Service Commission to authorize a three-quarter mile underground line from Fulton Street to Canal Street, Brooklyn to Manhattan, surfacing at Manhattan Bridge Plaza and joining the Third Avenue El. It would cost 1.2 million dollars, run two tracks, and offer a five cent fare to any Manhattan station, with aim to relieve East River tunnel and bridge traffic. The plan conflicts with Fourth Avenue Subway and faces scrutiny from PSC officials.
