ASP was rolled out starting around 1953 in Manhattan. Then implemented through most but not all of the outer borough neighborhoods except on Staten Island, where there is still no ASP. I wonder how Astoria was skipped over? Probably a powerful Councilman at that time got the city to not institute ASP in his district.
yeah I get what you're saying, it's probably a political thing somehow
Maybe a long time ago when it rolled out, LIC was an empty barren wasteland and no one thought to have it there.
What did Northern Blvd looked like before all the car dealerships moved in. Were they there in the 50s?

Looks like it was a busy commercial area for a long time.
