Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Jul 25 19:11:23 2007, in response to Re: Brooklyn Dodgers (on topic), posted by BrooklynBus on Wed Jul 25 17:50:05 2007. In the 1930's, the Southern and northern parkways were unimproved original parkways, (think the bethpage Parkway, and the Wantagh), they filled up pretty quick once cars became popular. Forget just sunny days, it wasn't long till commuters began using them too. So yes, they were improvement over the local roads, as without them, the local roads would have been even worse, but the local roads, together with the parkways, are not "that" bad.Yes, not nearly as much traffic as today, but then again, in the 1930's, there weren't as many traffic lights either. The South shore was just beginning to suburbanize back then, Much of Nassau was still farmland. Suburbanization didn't start in force till the 40's, 20 years after the parkways were already there. |
