Why do think a lot of the parkways have low bridges? To keep buses off them!

The parkways were designed in the 1920's, when streetcars and trolleys still ruled the roads. It could not have been know the extent that buses would take over in the coming decades. When it was saw that larger clearances were needed, Expressways began being built. Some parkways like the Clearview, Gowanas, and others were even converted from Parkways to Expressways.
