The station does have an exit to Fulton St at the extreme south end, so technically, part of it is at the intersection of Fulton and Lafayette.Additionally, don't forget that a Lafayette Av subway was proposed before the IND existed. The flying junction south of DeKalb on the BMT was routed underneath Fulton St with the idea that it might go to Lafayette Av. That plan was scrapped and the bellmouth was used for the Brighton subway - but it's possible that there was historical inertia for a station truly at the intersection of Fulton and Lafayette, and the name stuck. |
