So it was planned as a surface parkway and not controlled access?

I cannot say that. My information was taken from maps that showed the proposed right of way being distinct from Union Tpk.

If you look at early 20th century maps of NYC, you can find today's street pattern in all boroughs except Queens. It was mostly farmland. GCP is shown as dashed lines through farmland. Union Tpk, which may have been mapped, was shown with a traditional block structure.
