Re: My Route Suggestion of the Old Abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch

I doubt that. In official signage, NYCT never leaves off the street name suffix (Avenue, in this case).

(Hmmm, I may have to take that back. Is Parsons/Archer official? But that's the only exception I can think of.)

Parsons/Archer and Jamaica/Van Wyck were victims of the dumbed-down station naming conventions adapted by most other transit systems in this country (i.e. excluding "Street" or "Avenue" or "Boulevard" etc, and in some cases condensing the entire name into one word, such as Alewife Brook Parkway on the MBTA.)
