I knew I forgot a few of them in the Bronx. But I though Mosholu Pkwy was an actual Parkway [like the Jackie Robinson in Queens].

Mosholu is a Parkway in the true sense of the word between Gun Hill Road and the Saw Mill, but a divided boulevard from the Botanical Gardens to Gun Hill Road.

Did You guys know that Eastern and Ocean Parkways are purposefully configured to connect Highland Park, Prospect Park, and Coney Island?

They were also only two out of a proposed series of five or six show boulevards that were going to radiate across Brooklyn like the spokes of a wheel. None of the others came to pass.

They were also designed by the outstanding team of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux.
