EE Broadway Local Posted December 27, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2010 In keeping with adding the neighborhood name to the terminal (Midtown-57th Street , Inwood-207th Street , Kensington-Church Avenue , Lower East Side-Second Avenue , Long Island City-Court Square ) why isn't Euclid Avenue East New York-Euclid Avenue for the and Myrtle Avenue Williamsburg-Myrtle Avenue for the (I know the terminates there only nights and weekends) - and now that I think of it, why isn't Broad Street Financial District-Broad Street for the (J)/(Z)?

GojiMet86 Posted December 27, 2010 Share #2 Posted December 27, 2010 Maybe because it's not a very important station (Broad St.), and Wall St. on the and already gives an indicator that it's in the Financial District. Just my guess. EDIT: This should be on the "What If..." thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted December 27, 2010 I'm just curious why some terminal stations don't seem to have the neighborhood name like most terminal stations do, not asking if they should be renamed. By the way, I know the (J)/(Z) terminates at Broad Street weekdays only and the terminates at Chambers Street weekends. Maybe in Euclid Avenues' case its' because the IND. originally named "Broadway Junction" Broadway-East New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted December 27, 2010 Share #4 Posted December 27, 2010 In most cases the other spots are more permanent type terminals (where tracks physically end or where service just about never goes past in places it doesnt). New Lots Av doesn't have a neighborhood attached to it, neither does Flatbush Avenue even though it has Brooklyn College attached to it. I think it definitely has to be in the "center" of a neighborhood and have no major point of interest nearby. Some other points - Its clearly in Riverdale, but that park definitely takes precedence. - As for its south terminal, is it Midwood (the community on the west side of the college), Flatbush (where it's running through just north of the station), or East flatbush (who said exactly where that 'hood began). - 'Harlem' was only recently attached to Lenox terminal - There's no street name, just the neighborhood! - That park takes preference. Just a few, and how consistent the inconsistency is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted December 27, 2010 There's also Brighton Beach (. For a long time, the terminated at 148th Street-Lenox Terminal as you mentioned. (lol Sometimes I still call Harlem-148th Street by its' old name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'89 Liberty MCI Posted December 27, 2010 Share #6 Posted December 27, 2010 Nostrand Avenue & Flatbush Avenue, Nostrand Avenue & Avenue H (the two station entrances) are in Flatbush. It really is right on the southern tip of Flatbush, but still Flatbush. Going south, Midwood begins after the railroad tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArr Posted December 27, 2010 Share #7 Posted December 27, 2010 Maybe because it's pretty clear that it's within the Financial District, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricknologist Posted December 27, 2010 Share #8 Posted December 27, 2010 Myrtle Avenue Williamsburg-Myrtle Avenue for the FYI, that stop is not in Williamsburg, it's at the Bushwick/Bed-Stuy border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'89 Liberty MCI Posted December 27, 2010 Share #10 Posted December 27, 2010 FYI, that stop is not in Williamsburg, it's at the Bushwick/Bed-Stuy border. Right. Basically Broadway separates Bed-Stuy from Bushwick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
