Named streets in Greenpoint

The east–west streets in Greenpoint are in mostly alphabetical order from north to south. Originally, these streets were simply given lettered names such as "A Street" and "B Street", but in the mid-19th century, the streets were given longer names. [8] [9] This system persists today with a few exceptions: Ash, Box, Clay, Dupont, Eagle, Freeman, Greene, Huron, India, Java, Kent, Greenpoint Avenue (formerly Lincoln Street), Milton, Noble, Oak, and Quay streets. [10] Greenpoint Avenue was formerly named Lincoln Street. There would have been a street starting with the letter "P" between Oak and Quay Streets, but it was named Calyer Street early in Greenpoint's history, after the patriarch of a nearby family. [8] [9]

West Streets

There are streets which are designated as "West #" Street. These streets are oriented north-south and lie west of Dahill Road/West Street (Gravesend). There are two streets named West 9th Street: one in Carroll Gardens and Red Hook west of 9th Street, and the other in Gravesend and Coney Island between West 8th and West 10th Streets. Only the West 9th Street in Coney Island is part of the overall "West Street" numbering system.

West StreetAvenue T Belt Parkway 1SouthWest Street is interrupted at the north end by the McDonald playground at Avenue T, as well as the bend in McDonald Avenue starting one block further north at Kings Highway. North of Kings Highway, the street was renamed Dahill Road in the 1920s, and is also interrupted at many points. Together, West and Dahill form boundaries for the old town of Flatbush, the East and West numbered streets, and the East numbered streets to the old Brooklyn street grid. While McDonald Avenue is usually recognized as the East/West border, it can be seen that West 1st Street is to the east of McDonald Avenue, and West 2 and West 3 are also east of the Shore Road continuation of McDonald.

East Streets

There are also streets which are designated as 'East X' Street. They run from East 1st Street to East 108th Street. These streets are oriented north-south and generally lie east of Dahill Road/West Street (Gravesend) which forms the western edge of the old town of Flatbush. Many of the "east" streets extend into Prospect Lefferts Gardens.[ citation needed ]

Brooklyn has no "East" streets with the following numbers:

  • East 20th Street (replaced by Ocean Avenue)
  • East 25th Street (replaced by Bedford Avenue)
  • East 30th Street (replaced by Nostrand Avenue)
    • Note: In Marine Park, Marine Parkway diverges from Nostrand Avenue. East 31st Street is located east of Marine Parkway, but East 29th Street is located west of Nostrand Avenue. As a result, several named streets separate Nostrand Avenue and Marine Parkway.
  • East 33rd Street (replaced by New York Avenue except below Flatlands Avenue in Marine Park where East 33rd Street exists.
  • East 41st Street in Flatlands (mostly replaced by Albany Avenue)
  • East 44th Street (replaced by Troy Avenue)
  • East 47th Street (replaced by Schenectady Avenue)
  • East 50th Street (replaced by Utica Avenue)
  • East 62nd Street (replaced by Mill Avenue)
  • East 75th Street (does not exist in the grid)
  • East 90th Street (replaced by Remsen Avenue)
  • East 97th Street (replaced by Rockaway Parkway)

Some of the "East Streets" do nominally exist, but for the most part, are replaced by named roads. These include:

  • East 1st Street in Brighton Beach (mostly replaced by McDonald Avenue)
  • East 6th Street in Brighton Beach (mostly replaced by Ocean Parkway)
  • East 11th Street in Brighton Beach (mostly replaced by Coney Island Avenue)
  • East 60th Street in Mill Basin (mostly replaced by Ralph Avenue)

Other numbered streets

Bay Streets

There are 28 "Bay Streets" in Bath Beach numbered Bay 7th Street through Bay 50th Street. Every third street (Bay 9th Street, Bay 12th Street, etc.) does not exist, and a numbered avenue takes its place. Most of them run between 86th Street and Belt Parkway.

Brighton Streets

There are 16 "Brighton Streets" in Brighton Beach, although Brighton 1st and Brighton 9th Street do not exist, while Brighton 1st Road, Brighton 1st Place, and Brighton 8th Court do.

After, the streets begin numerically, beginning at Brighton 1st Road, Brighton 1st Place, Brighton 2nd Street, Brighton 3rd Street, Brighton 4th Street, Brighton 5th Street, Brighton 6th Street, Brighton 7th Street before hitting Coney Island Avenue, which runs perpendicular.

There are 15 streets, numbered Paerdegat 1st Street through Paerdegat 15th Street, in Paerdegat, Brooklyn. They each run one block between Paerdegat Avenue North (East 76th Street) and East 80th Street. [11]
