And I'm not even sure if these are equivalent. RI Ave. in DC is more a classic urban corridor. Rockville Center, NY is a typical Long Island railroad commuter suburb. Neither are really characterized by the early auto age.

Well, however they were envisioned is not really relevant, it's what they are at present. Manhattan is full of ROWs that appear as wide, the difference is that these are vastly underutilized and underbuilt, making them seem wider than they really are. Cut
this down to one story and you'll see what I mean. They're ripe for dense mixed use redevelopment and could accommodate a rail or dedicated bus.
