To me the closest parkway to an actual Robert Moses Parkway has to be the Meadwbrook entering Jones Beach and parts of Ocean Pkway (not the Bklyn one of course) where they still have the wooden light poles. When I was a kid I thought those lights were part of the definition of parkway!!! Not only the wooden lights but I remember the wooden guardrails and the old signs that looked like large school blackboards.I'm showing my age but I remember when the Northern State was all two lanes each way and the Grand Central was two lanes from the Kew Gardens Interchange to the Nassau line. When they widened it to three lanes they built that big Cross Island/Alley Pond/ Springfield Blvd interchange. Before the widening they were three regular cloverleafs. I also remember the 10 cent toll booths (later 25 cents) in Valley Stream. (At the State Trooper barracks and LI tourism center) |
