So homes and long established businesses had to be demolished for the original Parkway. It wasn't simply placed atop the el pillars. The Expressway just meant even more demolition of homes.Thanks understood. I guess, 3rd Ave made the most sense because the el was there. And while the expressway is a necessity. It would have created havoc wherever it was planned. Unfortunately some area and, people had to suffer because of the greater good. More demolition was required along the Third Avenue corridor: approximately 200 buildings were condemned for the expressway expansion." I guess by that point that meant buildings on the side streets, as apparently one side of 3rd was already demolished for the Parkway. Does anyone know of any photos available online of the Gowanas PARKWAY, or construction/demolition photos from when the Exxpressway was built? If that was done in the 60's, they shouldn't be that hard to come by, as it's not like earlier decades when less cameras were around. |
