. A state park plan for New York, with a proposal for the new park bond issue. Parks. THE BRONX RIVER PARKWAY AT SCARSDALE VII. THE PROPOSED PARKWAY FROM NEW YORK CITY TO BEAR MOUNTAIN PARK This project will provide the remaining link necessary to complete a grand circuit from New York City through what is destined to be the world's greatest outer park system. The parks and boulevards in Manhattan and The Bronx con- nect with The Bronx River Parkway, which, in 1924, will be completed to the Kensico Dam and Reservoir in Westchester County. From the dam it is 22 miles past lakes and reservoirs to Moliansic Park and another 12 miles to Anthony's Nose, where the new bridge will span the Hudson to Bear Mountain Park. Already on heavy traffic days the many excellent high- ways in Westchester County are filled to capacity with an ever- increasing volume of pleasure vehicles surging out from New York City. With the completion of The Bronx River Parkway, the first objective will be the Kensico Dam—25 miles from the Plaza at 59tli street. The second objective will be Mohansic Park—22 miles farther north. Thence another 13 miles, to Bear Mountain and the Palisades Interstate Park System of 36,000 acres to be made directly accessible by the new bridge. From Bear Mountain down through the Palisades system to the new vehicular tunnel or Hudson River ferries to Manhattan com- pletes a splendid circuit of approximately 125 miles, which will be directly available for the seven million people residing in this part of the State of New York. 60.
