Bedford Avenue (Brooklyn)
- Bedford Avenue (Brooklyn)
Bedford Avenue is the longest [ [http://forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/fultonbrooklyn2/fultonbedstuy.html Forgotten-NY] ] street in Brooklyn, New York City, stretching 10.2 miles and 132 blocks from Greenpoint south to Sheepshead Bay, and passing through the neighborhoods of Williamsburg(where it is a main street), Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Flatbush and Midwood.
Automobile traffic flows in two directions on the southern half of the avenue (south of Grant Square at Dean Street), and one-way northbound north of that location. Northbound and southbound bicycle lanes are painted on the avenue south of Grant Square.
The many different building types common in Brooklyn are evident at some point on the avenue, from attached and detached single family houses in Sheepshead Bay and Midwood, to brownstone rowhouses in Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant, to medium and large apartment buildings in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. In addition, the avenue passes through neighborhoods representative of Brooklyn's famous cultural and ethnic diversity. African-American, Hasidic, Hispanic, Russian and Hipster-predominant neighborhoods are all found along the avenue.
