Edited sentence: As time went on and Lydius Street headed uphill from South Pearl that section came to be called "Lydius continued".In the 1790s Simeon De Witt made a grid plan for future streets in Albany, one grid for west of Eagle Street and one grid for the Pastures.In the west Madison Ave meets Western Avenue at a Y-intersection, it is referred to as "The Point" and it was here that the railroad in the state had its Albany station.Madison Ave was originally two separate streets in the De Witt plan, Lydius Street in the Pastures from the Hudson River to Dallius Street (Green Street), and named Wolf Street west from Eagle Street.Many of the mammal streets changing names to that of older downtown streets as they were later connected up, such as Buffaloe [sic] Street changing to Hudson (Street) Avenue, and Deer Street changing to State Street; a few of the bird streets were changed as well, such as Snipe to Lexingon Avenue and Swallow to Knox.The right-of-way of Wolf Street/Lydius Street was to continue indefinitely, and today East Lydius Street in the town of Guilderland continues down the same line of the original plan of Wolf Street.The same is true of Madison Avenue Extension and much of Washington Avenue Extension in the Pine Bush of the city of Albany.West of Eagle Street the east-west streets were named for mammals while the north-south streets were named for birds.What is now Madison Place was called Madison Avenue, Lydius would take the name Madison Ave and Madison Place would get its current name.Wolf Street would change to Lydius when the roads were connected at Eagle
