It may very well have been widened in anticipation of the construction of the SAS since those plans do go back that far. The IND (or really the city) did some of that in ordered to facilitate construction of other subway lines. Prior to the construction of the IND, 6 Av did not exist S/O W 3 St but was through routed to connect with Church St at Canal St. Church St itself was also widened towards the west to facilitate subway construction in that area. Although I can't find any accurate dates, It seems that Pitkin Av did not exist east of Ruby (76) St at the Bkln/Qns border but was through routed to South Rd sometime around the time the IND Pitkin Av section was built and in the approximate area of the elusive 76 St station. |
