Eastern Parkway
Eastern Parkway
- ... that when built in the 1870s, New York City's Eastern Parkway was considered the world's first parkway designed for automobile traffic? Source: NYC Parks. "Eastern Parkway, the world's first parkway, was conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1866. The term parkway was coined by these designers as a landscaped road built expressly for "pleasure-riding and driving" or scenic access to Prospect Park (also designed by Olmsted and Vaux)."
- ALT1:... that Eastern Parkway was intended as the centerpiece of a never-finished park-and-parkway system around Brooklyn in New York City? Source: NYC Parks. "Olmsted and Vaux intended Eastern Parkway to be the Brooklyn nucleus of an interconnected park and parkway system for the New York area. The plan was never completed but their idea of bringing the countryside into the city influenced the construction of major parks and parkways in cities throughout the United States."

Substantial article, on good sources, the few offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed but not too telling in stamp size. Prep builder's choice. The only thing missing is the qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
