Maybe it's a way for the local government to get more Federal funding for streets and roads, showing that they have more "streets" than they actually have. Just a thought.
You threw me a curve. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Edgehill+Ave,+Bronx,+NY+10463/@40.8805108,-73.9130755,19z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c2f3ead5fd8293:0xf9174520752fb65b!8m2!3d40.8805392!4d-73.9123298 This link will show you Edgehill Avenue. It is a wishbone shaped street of which only one terminus of the street is a staircase. The Bronx has a goodly number of streets that are partway stairs and downright good climbs, too. Having been raised in The Bronx this tweaked my memory. It is in the Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood that overlooks the Hudson River and, yes, the Spuyten Duyvil. Having walked along the railroad tracks that circumvent this area, it is an area familiar to me. Still, your comment is fun.
Have seen that in Alaska

ReplyDeleteThanks! I do try to be a little bit entertaining.
DeleteI read about the Spuyten, what a strange name, in the source article.
