You could say that there was no alternative, but there was. The neighborhood begged him to build it along Second Avenue instead of Third which would not have destroyed any of the stores and would have relocated far fewer people. But as usual, Moses wouldn't listen to reason because he didn't have to.


I believe 3rd Ave was chosen for the Gowanas Parkway because that had the BMT's abandoned 3rd Ave el structure on it that was available to use for the new elevated parkway, which was the original road. It wasn't until later that the Expressway plans widened it to what it is today, and by that time, that was already the ROW.
