Posted by randyo on Sat Jan 30 21:01:07 2016, in response to Re: Possible new 76th Street Evidence and summary, posted by K. Trout on Fri Jan 29 23:53:41 2016. Well, one of the things I didn't see mentioned in any of the articles is the through routing of Pitkin Av with Old South Rd east of Ruby St unless I missed it while reading the articles. As I had mentioned before in other threads, Pitkin Av ended at Ruby St which I believe was the boundary between Bkln and Queens. At some point probably as a part of the extension of the IND subway in that area. What appeared to be private property on some maps I’ve seen from the 1920s was cut through to make a continuous thoroughfare between Ruby St and points farther east and at that same time Old South Rd was renamed Pitkin Ave although some maps show a short portion of the Avenue still named “Old South Rd.” Depending on when the through routing of the street actually took place, it could be that it was done concurrently with the subway construction so that the open cut referred to would have been the construction of the subway infrastructure and the covering of it by a brand new street which had never existed in that area before. |
