The Second Avenue Subway is obviously necessary. Agreed that killing the #7 extension makes perfect sense, especially with the only useful station removed from the plan!

I recently read the essay from 1904 on NYCSubway.org, and in the very intro they state how pipelines, and a mass of infrastructure made the undertaking quite arduous. I wanted to inform the Times' columnist about it, but never got around to it.
