Larry,It appears so on our official maps. http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/ The name covers all the territory from the junction with the Gowanus Exwy. at 62nd St. in Brooklyn to the junction with the Cross Island and Southern State Pkwys. at the Nassau line. The portion from west of Brookville Blvd. to the city line is labelled Sunrise Hwy. Many older maps refer to it as Circumferential Pkwy which, nowadays at least, is too many syllables for most New Yorkers to bother with. Note, however, that the service roads for some portions are signed Shore Pkwy and Laurelton Pkwy. In my childhood (ca. 1960) the entire set was referred to frequently as the Belt System, probably with the Bell System in mind. Bob |
