Posted by Dyre Dan on Tue Jun 19 05:35:16 2012, in response to Re: IND Pitkin Avenue Extension - map, posted by Joe Saitta on Mon Jun 18 23:42:35 2012. Crescent St. was never the line between Brooklyn and Queens. The actual line can be seen on the map, a bit east of there. Possibly it was seen as the last street wide enough to carry an el west of the county (then City) line, or otherwise "major" enough to reasonably do so. But why turn there if they were waiting for permission to enter Queens? To show Queens politicians that they were serious about building in a different direction if permission was not soon forthcoming? Or perhaps one line simply followed the other in order to maintain a fairly constant distance between the two? |
