of the railway crossing
-
Polish period
- "ulica 3 Maja" (3d May Str) west of the
railway crossing,
"ulica 9 Lutego" (9th
February) east of the
crossing
a stretch of "ulica 3 Maja"
between Steckiewicz St. and
Dluga St. was a pedestrian
precinct, that was called "Gaz". The origin of the name is
not quite clear. In the passage below from
the Book "Brest Unforgettable
Town" there is a suggestion that the youth were lured by
the street. They used to rush to it after classes,
saying "Step on the gas!". Hence the Polish name "gaz"
(gas).

-
Brześć posiadał swój deptak nazywany „Gazem",
przypuszczalnie dlatego, że młodzież bardzo się nań
spieszyła; był to odcinek 3 Maja, między ulicą Steckiewicza
a Długą.
Another version belongs to MOYSEY SARE,
who suggests that the Polish name derived from the Yiddish
word "gass" (street)
