Park Crescent is a dead end off 86th Road near 164th Street in Jamaica Hills, a neighborhood rife with odd roads and dead ends, many of them connected with the formal Normal School and the old trolley line that used to rumble through. Park Crescent is straight as a string and not a crescent at all, and it’s also got this ancient NO PARKING sign nailed to a tree.
It’s of considerable age, proven by the rust and also by the old Department of Traffic notation. Decades ago, “Traffic” was changed to “Transportation.”
