Cropsey Avenue

Cropsey Avenue is a major street in Brooklyn, New York. It generally runs northwest-southeast, from Bath Beach to Coney Island.

For about half of its length, Cropsey Avenue has a central median, making it a divided highway. In Coney Island, Cropsey Avenue continues as West 17th Street at Neptune Avenue. Cropsey Avenue intersects the Belt Parkway at exits 6-N and 6-S.

The street is named for the Cropsey family, one of the first to settle in New Utrecht.^[1]^[2]
