Quite a few streets were either through routed or widened as part of the IND subway construction. 6 Av in Manhattan was through routed to Church St between W 3 St and Canal and Church St itself was widened on the west side between Canal and Park Place. Pitkin Av itself di not exist past Ruby St (75 St in Queens) and was through routed with South Rd at the Bkln/Qns border as part of the proposed extension of the Pitkin Av portion of the IND past Euclid Av (76 St). I'M not quite sure of this one, but I seem to recall that I read somewhere that Houston St was widened between 6 Av and Essex St (or thereabouts) for the construction of the IND Houston St Line. There is also documentation that 7 Av was through routed to Varick St creating 7 Av South as part of the construction of the 7 Av IRT line. |
