Posted by italianstallion on Mon Feb 1 17:03:57 2016, in response to Re: A tile wall at Crystal Street Re: Possible new 76th Street Evidence and summary, posted by GIS Man on Mon Feb 1 09:38:32 2016. Further to this, various portions of what started out as the Belt System had their own names - Shore Parkway from the Gowanus to the Sunrise, and Laurelton Pkwy from there up to the Cross Island. Many maps also showed the Cross Island as part of the Belt System.My 1970s-era Rand McNally NYC street map show the whole thing from the Gowanus to the Whitestone Br. as "(Belt System)" in parentheses, with the various portions' individual names as above without parentheses, except it shows the segment from Conduit to Sunrise Highway as "Southern Parkway", probably a mistake. My 1996 Hagstrom 5-Borough Atlas shows Belt as a secondary name to Shore for all segments up to the Laurelton, but not for the Cross Island. Current usage is to use Belt Parkway (not System) for the segment from the Gowanus to the Southern State, and Cross Island for the rest. Overhead and local directional signs follow this usage. |
