It's really not unique insofar as a last minute change in construction causing awhat seems to be a strange situation.Why is DeKalb Avenue the way it is? Simple...it was originally supposed to be just another local stop along the 4th Avenue subway...what are today the bypass tracks were simply a continuation of the express tracks up (or down) the Fourth Avenue subway....provisions were later added to have the Brighton train from Prospect Park through the Flatbush Avenue tunnel stop there on their way to the Manhattan Bridge but of course no provision was ever put in to have Brighton trains have access to the bypass tracks nor was it really contemplated that Fourth Avenue express trains would stop at DeKalb. Historians am I right. |
