BMT Fourth Avenue Line The Fourth Avenue Line is a rapid transit line of the BMT Division of the New York City Subway, mainly running under Fourth Avenue in Brooklyn. Fourth Avenue never had a streetcar line or elevated railway due to the provisions of the assessment charged to neighboring property owners when the street was widened. Construction of the line was only undertaken because of the efforts of the local communities. After the line was opened, development resulting from the line's construction transformed communitites such as Dyker Heights, Fort Hamilton and Bay Ridge. The line is served by the D , N , and R . One station, Myrtle Avenue, was abandoned in 1956 as part of the reconfiguration of the busy DeKalb Avenue Junction.
