Posted by BMT Standard on Fri Jan 15 18:26:51 2021, in response to Re: Vanshnookenraggen: IND Second System Track Map, posted by BrooklynBus on Fri Jan 15 08:32:19 2021. The wider Utica Ave. south of Carroll Street was to allow for a separate median for streetcars. Many of the wider streets in Brooklyn (and other cities) originally had a reservation down the middle for streetcars. In many cases, this was paved over for automobile traffic even before the streetcars were replaced by busses. North of Carroll Street was built up earlier and there wasn't room to provide a separate streetcar reservation.Other wider roads in Brooklyn that had streetcar reservations include Coney Island Avenue and Ocean Avenue (south of Farragut Road). |
