Re: Fulton Street Subway

The most plausible explanation is that the “excavation” is just the construction of the very sidewalk and curb that you note exists in the present day Google street view. Old South Road was a pre-auto country road and would have been narrower than modern day Pitkin Avenue. It might have been paved at some point early in the 20th century, followed by a project to actually widen it in anticipation of developing the surrounding area into a “modern suburb”, with wider streets and sidewalks.
