 Plots & Plans: The Second <b>Avenueb> Subway
Lower Manhattan is much, much more exciting than it was when the Second <b>Avenueb> Subway was aborted in the early 1970’s and clearly Lower Manhattan and Midtown South are very vibrant and the sites of considerable development to come, all of which could use better transit access.
Lower Manhattan still has not fully recovered from the suburban and corporate exodus that began in the 1950’s although a renaissance began about a decade ago with the emergence of the spectacular developments at Battery Park City and the flourishing of older neighborhoods such as SoHo and TriBeCa.
Construction on the Second <b>Avenueb> Subway actually started in the early 1970’s, but was aborted because of the city’s fiscal crisis in the mid-1970’s.
