in 1935, the 34th street–midtown association proposed a new ramp for the highway at 34th street, having elected new directors for the purpose. this ramp would rise above the elevated railroad and highway, splitting into a northbound onramp and a southbound offramp, both on the right side of the highway. it was hoped that the ramp would help businesses in the area and provide better access to the proposed 38th street tunnel (now the lincoln tunnel) to new jersey. the ramp was never built.
