Critical information: the shortest streets in the city.
Edgar Street is now an approach to a municipal garage and part of the exit from the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, so it may only be 63 feet long but it’s about 50 feet wide. Back when it was just a normal – albeit very short – street, it was 18 feet wide.
