Do you buses on Steinway Street and Greenpoint-Roosevelt Avenues by themselves, or as providing service connecting those streets with Brooklyn?If I recall correctly, the Greenpoint Avenue bus route many years ago continued into Queens as far as the Woodside railroad station. But I think that it traveled that far because the railroad station was really the first substantial development that made for a reasonable terminus for a bus route from Brooklyn. (Well, not entirely true, as the prior Greenpoint Avenue streetcar route ended in Blissville, at Calvary Cemetery where it connected to the New York & Queens County streetcar. But otherwise there was no real onward transportation there towards Flushing or elsewhere, so Woodside was really the logical terminus for a Brooklyn bus route along Greenpoint Avenue.) I don't think the Meeker Avenue route ever went past Newtown Creek, and nothing was ever established along its extension in Queens (via Laurel Hill Boulevard and 45th Avenue to Newtown) . . . but later it did get sent up 48th Street and eventually through-routed with a shorted Greenpoint Avenue route. Should the B24 be returned to Woodside?! |
