   I'm referring to the London definition of "subway" [a],   
   which is a pedestrian underpass/walkway that lets people   
   cross (under) the street so as to avoid the traffic.   
      
   I'm familiar with the one that's on Austin Street, underneath   
   Union Turnpike and the BQE, on the Forest Hills/Kew   
   Gardens border.   
      
   - There are quite a few that are associated with MTA subway   
   (as in The Subway) entrances, but I'm wondering about any   
   that are stand-alones.   
      
   Anyone know of any others? Thanks
