Which leads me to a question -- what was in the original MTA plan, and what was actually built? How did we do with THAT promise? Before I spend a lunch hour on it, does anyone know the answer?
I have part of the answer (a summary of the 1968 "Program for Action) at home as part of the history of the Independent System I'm wrapping up. It's "subway centric" (I don't list what the proposed improvements to the LIRR, Penn Central, LIRR, Erie-Lackawanna or the airports were(remember we're talking 1968 here) but it shouldn't take too long to outline those other things as well. I expect to post this tonight.
