Interestingly, Lord Avenue USED to cross the tracks at the north/east/inbound/whatever end of the Inwood station. But NY878/Nassau 'Expressway' was constructed on an overpass over the tracks several feet due west of Lord Avenue. This caused the elimination of the crossing and the severing of Lord Avenue south of the ROW, leaving Doughty Boulevard at the other end of the platform the only way for pedestrians to cross the tracks.Unfortunately, the 'expressway' has no sidewalks, and there are no stairways connecting the platforms and overpass. Some LIRR stations with two tracks and a street crossing on one end have a connecting underpass or overpass further down the platform. But Hewlett, Woodmere, Lawrence, Centre Avenue, Island Park and Bethpage, to name a few, don't. There are others that have a street crossing on both ends but no connecting underpass or overpass. In addition to Cedarhust, this includes New Hyde Park, East Rockaway and Oceanside. |
