Old Bx14 Edenwald Avenue |

Posted by Joe on Thu Aug 27 20:31:40 2015 The 1945-1946 edition of Geographia's Complete Street Guide, Manhattan & Bronx, includes this description:EDENWALD AVENUE, Route 14, 1.93 miles. From 233rd St. and White Plains Ave., via 233rd St., Edenwald Ave., Seton Ave, 233rd St, Dyre Ave, to Boston Road. Return: the same to Byron Ave., and 233rd St; then 234th St, White Plains Ave. to 233rd St. I claim this fits into a Surface Transportation pattern: short rides for a nickel. I wonder whether any Bx14 transfers were printed prior to 1948. --- The October, 1958, map issued by Surface Transit Inc. shows the same route. A New Yorker magazine project on the city's van routes describes the vans that began service when the Transit Authority dropped the Bx14 in 1984. Scroll down through the article to find an account of Edenwald Avenue vans. --- Later, the TA ran a different Bx14 that served Parkchester, Westchester Square, and part of the Country Club neighborhood. --- In the late '60's, I lamented that East 233rd St. at Baychester Ave., with a laundromat I used, was bereft of bus service. Nowadays, the Bx16 wanders through this terrain and connects with four subway routes. |
