Was that block perhaps a preexisting street that was given the name "Queens Blvd." because it lined up with the wide part of Queens Blvd.?No. It was part of Hoffman Blv. If you look closely, you will see the existing Hoffman Blv. superimposed on the new, improved, vitamin enriched Queens Blv. The block between Hillside and Jamaica Aves lines up perfectly with the existing Hoffman Blv. This also agrees with contemporary maps from the pre-1922 period. |
