Well, both Pelham Parkway stations are named FOR the actual parkway, even though Pelham Parkway is also used as a neighborhood name. Rego Park is not the primary name (full or partial) of a station. Briarwood officially is, but it's still a recent change. And if Jackson Heights and Kew Gardens are valid (and I think they are), shouldn't Forest Hills be also? Woodlawn, yes. When the station opened, the former Woodlawn Road was already Bainbridge Avenue, so the station was just "Woodlawn" from day one, despite the "Road" suffix being mistakenly added back on car destination signs for many years. |
