"It is blatantly obvious that not only was it done by Moses, but it was his idea for the expressed purpose of keeping the lower class and black people away from his parks."Hold up. Don't you know the Long Island highways? The routes to Jones Beach, for one example, have NO blocking overpasses south of Merrick Road. Buses from Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and The Bronx can easily reach the beaches. There were/are no gates, no border fences, nothing to stop a bus from reaching the shore. Since the parkways were specifically built to carry automobile traffic ONLY, the bridge designs were simply that, part of the overall scheme of the highway. It's just too easy to base a viewpoint on one set of facts that confirm what the researcher believes. It's intellectual laziness. Did the man block access to the beaches by ensuring that buses can't travel on the limited-access connecting parkways that also lead to the beaches? Anybody who has knowledge of the area arterial highway network, anybody with eyes who walks by the southbound entrances to both parkways going to Jones Beach can answer that one. |
