This newly extended portion ends where Gold street begins which can their fore also be used as another identifying landmark alongside target corp if Dekalb Plaza itself isn’t easily visible or recognizable enough then look out for Target Corp itself & make sure it’s located across from this new extension PS if everything else fails then simply look out for any sign posts or traffic signals specifically mentioning Dekalb avenue & use these as visual aids because without fail they will always be located either next too or directly opposite this newly extended portion leading up too Target Corp almost as though they were purposely placed their by design with intention making them easily identifiable landmarks in their own rite ) Head north bound along this extended section until reaching Hanson Pl whereupon upon reaching Hanson Pl turn RIGHT while still heading NORTH BOUND only(turning LEFT here takes you away from Yankee Stadium heading in completely the wrong direction so make sure not turn LEFT here but instead turn RIGHT here while still heading NORTH BOUND because again turning LEFT here takes away from Yankee Stadium not too it ).
