The flat south central portion of the New York City borough of Brooklyn has a set of lettered avenues.
In 1897, at the request of developers, the City of Brooklyn renamed several streets in what is now known as Prospect Park South.
There is no longer any Avenue G. It was renamed Glenwood Road in the early 20th century.
Avenue H begins in the west at Ocean Parkway, is interrupted by the BMT Brighton Line at East 16th Street, and again by the Brooklyn College Campus between Campus Rd and Nostrand Avenue.
It begins at Dahill Road and runs to Ralph Avenue in Georgetown, just short of Paerdegat Basin.
The road carries 2 lanes of traffic and has a commercial strip between Coney Island Avenue and East 16th Street.
It is also notoriously home for the famous street gang, The J Boys, which existed from roughly 1979 to 1988.
It continues to Ocean Parkway and becomes a one way street with traffic flowing from west to east.
It becomes a one way street with traffic flowing from east to west, between Coney Island Avenue and Kings Highway (its eastern terminus).
The entire Avenue Q was renamed Quentin Road after World War II, in honor of Theodore Roosevelt's youngest son Quentin, who was killed in aerial combat over France in 1918 during the first World War.
In Marine Park the street has a short concurrency along Nostrand Avenue.
The musical Avenue Q takes place on a rundown street, said to be located in an "outer-outer borough" of New York City; but the creators have stated that their Avenue Q is fictional, and not based on Quentin Road or any other actual street.
Avenue R begins its western terminus at Kings Highway and East 5th Street in Gravesend.
Avenue R formerly had a segment further west, despite the interruption of Kings Highway at its current western end.
The first segment runs from Stillwell Avenue to West 8th Street, where its route is blocked by the BMT Sea Beach Line tracks.
East of Gravesend Neck Road, traffic travels one way eastbound on two lanes until Nostrand Avenue, where traffic once again resumes its regular pattern, ending at Burnett Street.
The first segment runs from Stillwell Avenue to West 11th Street, where its path is impeded by the Marlboro housing projects.
Finally, from Van Sicklen Street to the end of its second segment, traffic on Avenue W travels two ways on two lanes.
The fourth segment begins some distance away in Bergen Beach, across several creeks and two neighborhoods.
This last stretch runs from a dead end just east of Mill Basin to Bergen Avenue.
The westernmost segment runs from Stillwell Avenue to West 8th Street, where its path is interrupted by the Coney Island Yards.
The second segment begins at a dead end at Boynton Place just east of the yards, and is served by a Culver Line station.
The third segment begins some distance away in Bergen Beach, across several creeks and two neighborhoods.
This last stretch runs from a dead end just east of Mill Basin to Bergen Avenue.
