How Long Ago Was the Second Avenue T line First Proposed?

b) 1929

That's right -- the elusive T line was planned to run along 2nd Avenue more than 80 years ago. When the Great Depression hit later that year, the plans were postponed until today's resumption of the project.

Since then, the Lexington Avenue line, which runs two blocks east of the proposed T line, has become the most crowded subway line in the country, with 1.3 million riders daily (more than the entire number of subway riders in Washington, D.C.)!
