> Chrystie St itself was demolished for the Cross Manhattan Expwy and the subway was built under it, and now we have that linear park.

Sara D. Roosevelt park dates back to the 1930s when the city purchased the land to widen Forsyth and Chrystie Streets (the city also widened Allen Street to the east around the same time). The remaining land was supposed to be used for housing, but that never materialized and was instead used to build the park.
