Those were proposed areas that were never carried forward. Currently those spaces are backstage, and are where the parades end up and start from at the front of the park.

I've always thought it would have been awesome to have seen those areas built as proposed, but if they had then we probably wouldn't have Space Mountain today, or else a very different configuration for Tomorrowland.

It might also interest you to know that Liberty Street was the inspiration for WDW Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square, and Edison Square inspired Carousel of Progress (which used to be where Innoventions is in DL's TL, now at MK - for now)...

And it's also obviously Disneyland because Disneyland in Anaheim was the only Disney park in '58! :-)

They were also going to be revived in some way for Disney's America, but that park got canned.
