Posted by gbs on Sun May 17 22:47:24 2020, in response to Re: Original Sea Beach Route-What Is Gold St.?, posted by Joe V on Sun May 17 18:54:01 2020. Not the same at all. In Queens those dual names usually refer to the same street, with the name being from before the consolidated grid system and the number after. So 69 St used to be called Fisk Av and 46 St used to be called Bliss St. (An exception is "90 St - Elmhurst Av", which refers to two separate streets, both crossing Roosevelt Av at that location.) In some neighborhoods the old names remain. In Rego Park it's 63 Drive, but west of Woodhaven Blvd it's still Penelope Av (like it used to be in Rego Park too). And in Forest Hills Gardens, 71 Av is still Continental Av. Myrtle Av and Gold St are perpendicular, and when Flatbush Av was extended from Fulton St to the bridge, it cut diagonally through the existing rectangular grid and meets both Myrtle and Gold at that intersection. Either name (or both, like Hoyt-Schermerhorn) could have been used. |
