This is truly an amazing photo: The Long Island Motor Parkway (AKA Vanderbilt Parkway) in 1908 with the Manhattan skyline in the background. Built in 1908 and running from Queens to Ronkonkoma, Long Island, historians have called it the first road in the country built specifically for automobiles. The privately built toll road featured overpasses and bridges with a toll of $2 when it opened – limiting the roadway for wealthy men wishing to race their new cars. The parkway was closed and absorbed by the state in 1938. Part of the trail still exists as a bike trail in Queens. #longislandhistory #brooklyn #longislandmotorparkway #longisland #brooklyn #robertmoses #vanderbiltparkway #longislandexpressway #lie #bqe #brooklynqueensexpressway #nyhistory #hychistory #urbanism #urbanplanning #thepowerbroker #architecture #urbandesign #cityplaning #urbanplanning #vanderbiltmansion #ronkonkoma (at Queens, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfrN-ZKOFWz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority's (which became the MTA) first annual report (1966-7) "proposed high-speed rail use of the center mall of the Long Island Expressway from Holbrook to Riverhead on eastern Long Island.” This report also proposed what would turn into East Side Access – what if Long Island also had high-speed rail? #longisland #longislandexpressway #eastsideaccess #mta #publictransit #longislandhistory #mta #subway #brooklyn #queens #manhattan #urbanplanning #nyhistory #nychistory #transithistory #urbanism #longislandrailroad #lirr (at Long Island Expressway ~L.I.E 495) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZ4y9unBEh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sp73mnvcgbs4
