DeKalb was in fact originally planned as a four-track local stop with the outer tracks added as an afterthought.

The 34th St. stations on the 7th and 8th Ave. were built that way on purpose - to discourage across-the-platform transfers. On top of that, they're both right beneath the street and above the tracks through Penn Station. You couldn't fit a mezzanine between the street and the tracks.
