Interborough Offer Shapes Brooklyn Rapid Transit Debate
The Interborough Rapid Transit Company proposes a Brooklyn subway from the Long Island R R Station to the Manhattan Bridge and across to Manhattan at Canarsie Street offering a single fare. It could block the Fourth Avenue subway and give I R T control of the best Manhattan Bridge approach, a potentially decisive strategic move for rapid transit across boroughs. The plan faces Brooklyn’s preference for a full Fourth Avenue route to Fort Hamilton and hinges on future contracts and Board of Estimate decisions.
