Then Mayor Hylan supposely ordered the lower level built at 42 St/8 Ave to prevent the IRT Queensboro line from extending their line to 11 Ave and/or the Hudson River.

Another urban legend, in this case one we've already debunked on this board. Todd Glickman has measured platform heights using a special barometric watch (or some such) that he has and determined that there would be no interference - the IRT (7) line would still pass beneath the IND platform.

Until next time...
