"One editorial opined that the new parkways would, by relieving the traffic load on the Southern and Northern State Parkways, 'Solve the problem of access to Moses' Long Island parks for generations.' The new parkways solved the problem for about 3 weeks. '[...]3 weeks after they opened that I decided to go out to Jones Beach on a Sunday', Paul Windels recalls, '[...]by God it was as jammed the Southern State ever was!'. Moses announced that he had the solution: build 45 miles of new parkways."
