Posted by Eric B on Sat May 10 19:49:40 2008, in response to Re: Greyhound Buses (and an overpass in Riverdale), posted by Joe on Sat May 10 13:48:46 2008. He probably took either the 684 route through Waterbury, and the Saw Mill branches off from that near Katonah. But then that route is now more Bonanza than Vermont/Greyhoud. Perhaps there are still Greyhounds from New Haven that make the stop at White Plains and then come down the west side (I87). Vermont did use to do that a lot. From there, he could pick up the Saw Mill instead of the NY Thruway, which are not too far apart anyway. (Or even the Bronx River/Sprain Brook, which is right next to the transportation center, Someone driving us home from Springfield and dropping someone off at the White Plains RR did this once, and I saw something totally new. It took me years to figure out which highway we entered the city on. I remembered a dark, heavily wooded highway, then suddenly, a brightly lit street off to the west side, with a row of apt. buildings as the lamp posts changed from Yonkers style to NYC, and this was Bronx River Rd. Had never seen anything like that before. On all four other highways (the Deegan, Henry Hudson, Hutchinson or New England Thruway), the city line is all parkland on the city side, with low rise suburban development on the Westchester side).I'm kind of surprised that was the first overpass that was too low! Too bad they didn't still have the toll booth near McLean Ave. They would have told him he didn't belong there, and then he could use the Mosholu Transcourse to swing over to the Deegan. The next toll booth, which is still there, was yet ahead, on the bridge to Manhattan. |
