We know that it was intended to extend the line much further east, but does anyone know if it was intended to continue onto Linden Blvd? This could explain the partially built street between Pitkin Av and Cross Bay Blvd. Most maps from, say, the 40's to the 80's show Linden Blvd completed there, as well as a cut across the northwest corner of Aqueduct Race Track, also never built. They also show a more elaborate interchange at Conduit Blvd, and the street continuing across a still-visible ROW through Tudor Park to 88th St. When Dumont Av was first built through to 88th St there was actually a curb cut on the southwest corner, blocked by a temporary real estate office building.

BTW, I occasionally still see current maps showing most or all of the above.
