The top drawing is from the late 60's, before the construction
began for the upper deck and not long after the SLECO bigloops
replaced the eliptical armed poles and incandescent lights, that
still graced the BQE. The westbound LIE exit for the southwest
bound BQE indeed had a traffic light, and poles along the ramp
sported little razor-like sensors that I assume were clocking
traffic, probably in preparation for the reconstruction of this
whole scene. The sensors were appended to normal eliptical crookarms.
The brown stains at the top were from old Cellophane tape, which
I used to connect reams of these legal pad sheets together. After
I made a linked set of the newer LIE doubledeck setup, I disconnected
the old version, of which the top view was part of, and spliced
in the new version, below. |
