fare, extends from Harlem River to the Long Island Sound, 

 and is destined to become one of the leading highways of the 

 Borough. The blocks from Webster to Third Avenues are given 

 over entirely to business establishments and are veritable bee 

 hives of activity. The third-tracking of the Second and Third 

 Avenue Elevated Railroads, and the branch connecting the New 

 York, Westchester & Boston Railroad will also materially help the 

 development of that entire section. 



The third important thorofare is McKinley Square, located 

 at One Hundred Sixty-ninth Street and Boston Road. 



The crosstown trolley line opened last year by the Union 

 Railroad Company, starting from Washington Bridge and running 



Junction 149th Street and Third Avenue 



east thru One Hundred Sixty-seventh and One Hundred Sixty- 

 ninth Streets to McKinley Square, thence to Westchester, and ter- 

 minating at Clason's Point, has given new impetus to values along 

 its entire route and has added to its population, as has also the new 

 One Hundred Forty-ninth Street crosstown line, recently opened. 



Other centers of note are: the junction of One Hundred 

 Thirty-eighth Street and Willis Avenue ; Westchester, Prospect and 

 Longwood Avenues; Westchester Avenue of the Southern Boule- 

 vard and West Farms Road, and the intersection of Boston Road, 

 Tremont Avenue and West Farms Road. This last center is sure 

 to develop and it will even rival One Hundred Forty-ninth Street 

 as it is practically the geographical center of the Borough. Almost 

 all the important arteries running east and west, north and south 

 connect at this point.
