Again, remember that often in the naming of IND-type subway stations - the names often refer to where the exits are!Two examples: Clinton Avenue and Washington Avenue never actually cross each other, but those subway stations are UNDER Lafayette Avenue and Fulton Street. Those streets would be the places that one would go enter the subway. It allows the station to do "double-duty" with its multiple entrances. Even the planning and building of the SAS is using that concept. Yes, over time the closing of entrances - part-time, permanent, etc. has under cut that idea. With the 200th Street question - I'm wondering if some streets were renamed over time, a situation that definitely happened in Queens. Mike |
