[edit] The Bronx

In manhattan 3rd Ave. isn't such a big deal, but it is a Major High Street in the bronx, second only to the Grand Concourse. I wonder if Bronx should be in the title? futurebird 13:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

  • There are two options (or more, if you can imagine them): 1) Start a second article "Third Avenue (Bronx)" for the Bronx section of the roadway, or 2) add the Bronx info to this article and rename it as "Third Avenue (New York City)". Arguments could be made wither way -- "They're really two different streets that just share a name, with very different characteristics in each borough", or "It's the same continuous street in both boroughs" -- and we should discuss the issue here further to see where consensus lies.

I think if we split it up each one would be too short and "stubby" -- that said I don't know to what degree the streets are "the same" --I think the best option is to change it to Third Avenue (New York City) and have a little section about each. futurebird 13:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
