Yup, Flatlands Ave is lined up with the Marine Park streets and the Canarsie streets.Maybe the cause of all this is Flatbush Avenue, since that was probably a very important thorofare when the Brooklyn streets were being built... |

It's like the 'Broadway of Brooklyn'. Everything else has to accomodate it.Even on the map, it looks like some of the streets starts to shift apart on an angle at Flatbush Av. The only way to correct things would be if the streets were redrawn like this:

Me neither, maybe then the B9 can run all the way thru Av L and the B82 will not need to be wasted on Flatlands :)And for sure the B2 will be enough without the B100 as it will go strait thru Av R or Quentin Rd to Kings Plaza. |

Not as originally proposed in 2003. They specifically stated that it would be an added layer of service when it was first announced. But does the MTA ever keep their word? |

Did you check out how Brooklyn streets looked in 1924?http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/ Click on photo, and move the slider to 1924. Shows what streets and buildings actually existed then, not just mapped streets. Not what I expected. Streets weren't built in order. eg. E94, 95 96 Streets built before E 91, E 92, etc. Also the middle of Remsen Avenue came before the ends. Much farmland still existed. Notice north south streets south of East NY Avenue that were totally obliterated. There also was what looks like a bungalow colony south of Ulmer Park. Also interesting is that many avenues looked like Glenwood Road west of Ocean Avenue and Ave R west of Coney Island Avenue with large green malls and two lanes of traffic with no parking. Linden Ave (Blvd) was one of them, but Ave J and K etc also looked that way. You can follow the original streets like Canarsie Lane (Cortelyou Rd) and Canarsie Road which connected to each other. |
