If you look at the 1924 and 1951 aerial photos here, you'll see that Queens Blvd was widened sometime between those two years and probably when the IND was built. Further, it appears the blvd was widened onto its south/west side. It is therefore likely that the subway was built alongside the existing boulevard, then once covered, the boulevard was widened onto it. That could explain any asymmetry there. |
