Exactly what percentage of the trips along Ocean Parkway would you say are made for recreational purposes? Over 50 percent?I would guess it is more like five percent. Let's be realistic now. Ocean Parkway is a commuter route, not a recreational highway. Planning for it otherwise is ridiculous. A lot has changed in 150 years. Calling Ocean Parkway a recreational route is like calling the Northern and Southern State and Belt Parkways recreational roads also. Moses envisioned them as recreational highways, but they haven't been those for quite sometime. How would you consider the Brighton, West End, Culver and Sea Beach lines? As recreational lines to get people to ocean beaches and hotels, although that is the reason they were built? No, they are commuter subway lines just like Ocean Parkway is a commuter roadway. |
