We also have Moses to thank for the low overpasses on the Southern and Northern State Parkways put there deliberately to keep low income people from taking buses out to his precious beaches at Jones Beach (and do remember many of these people when this construction occurred were not necessarily people of color).First off, the above statements are incorrect. If you look at the Bronx River PARKWAY, it was never designed for buses or trucks. The Bronx River PARKWAY was the nation's earliest PARKWAY. NO trucks or buses went down the road. I am sure when the roadway was designated as a PARKWAY, he never wanted trucks and buses to go down it, regardless of the destination. Although, every now and then you'll get some clown trying to beat the odds with a truck and the overpasses but they never make it and just cause traffic tie ups in the ending. It is also a known fact the Moses had to bow the pressure of politically connected "fat-cats" living in Old Westbury/Brookville from buidling straight into their backyards. That is why you now see the Northern State takes a BIG-ASS turn around Old Westbury instead of continuing to parallel the LIE. |
