“I could just imagine a New Yorker saying, ‘Oh my God, they're taking away the elevated. Now we're going to definitely get the Second Avenue!’” Shin said. “But then it never happened. And I wanted to see these New Yorkers being honored. They never got to see the subway. Now they're in it.” ”Not all New Yorkers were necessarily literate, so the idea was to help show people how to get off at a stop,” Raffel said. “It might show a ferry to represent the South Street Seaport, or beavers at Astor Place, because [John Jacob Astor] basically made his fortune in the beaver pelt trade.”Raffel says that after World War II, public funds were diverted from urban infrastructure projects as people left the cities for the suburbs.
“When they're looking at a given location, they're thinking about the neighborhood,” said Raffel. “New York has been extremely diverse since the ‘80s. It naturally makes sense that certain individuals are nominated or their proposals are selected because they respond to that neighborhood, which lends itself to a diversity of voices.”,” put up in a passageway in the Fulton Street station in 1987.
