I think NYC allowed both old and new names in Queens to be used for the sake of convience. There would have been alot of mass confusion if all names were abruptly changed overnight after 1915. After 20+ years there were slight changes made to make the conversion easier. The new names were stressed over the old and so it continued.In Jackson Heights along 82 Street between 37 and 35 Avenues there are some apartment buildings that have both old and new addresses. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why the signs had 25 Street. That was until I found out about the numbering system. I guess even to this day the process is still on-going. It's probably no big deal that 69 St on the 7 is still refered to as Fisk Avenue. If Fisk was elimated completely from station signage 10 years from now, no one would really notice. |
