Notes:Shady Avenue

1869-05-10: Source:New-streets: "Widening of Shady Lane. ¶ Shady Lane was next visited. The committee decided to make it from a forty-foot street, which it now is, a sixty-foot street, running between Fifth Avenue and the Greensburg pike. Several objectionable angles and serpentine turns were taken out of the line, and with the improvements decided upon, the avenue will merge into a delightful road, one which must largely enhance the value of the property through which it passes. The change in the width will entail little or no hardship on private interests."
