Some were not serious proposals but added to build political support for the plan. Most extensions were only proposed as grand concepts. Tracks and station details for much of the map are speculative. Some lines show two totally different services at the same time to indicate how service would have differed under alternative plans. This is to show different alignments and not to suggest different branches of the same proposal. Alternative arrangements are drawn branching off the main lines. These lines are drawn as they would look at their largest scopes. Some lines were only proposed once but others, such as the 2 nd Ave Subway (drawn as a full 6-track subway) or Utica Ave Subway (drawn as a full 4-track subway), have had multiple proposals over the years which have changed in scope. Also shown are heavy, grey dashed lines which indicate additional alternatives to the main proposals which were not drawn out in detail for the sake of overall clarity. 1929 plans are drawn with the same color pallet as the present system, 1939 plans are drawn in a darker color pallet, and post-War to Plan of Action lines are drawn in a lighter color pallet. The current system is drawn as is but proposed lines are drawn with a black outline. To show the evolution of these plans over time this map contains different layers of proposals. The reader can pick and choose which lines they think could have been built and what the system might have looked like today if they had. The map acts as a “choose your own adventure” where by each variant of every plan is drawn. The purpose of this map is the show the history of official subway expansion plans which can be broadly broken down into four phases: the 1929 Second System plan, the 1939 Second System plan, post-World War II plans, and the 1968 MTA Plan for Action.
