  • Another road that should never have been stopped from being built.
  • The Bethpage Parkway extension would have been a waste as 135 is so close to it.
  • I agree that the Bethpage Parkway extension (to have been called the "Caumsett State Parkway") would have been unnecessary, just adding to road noise for the people living in the area. Although from a "roadgeek" point of view, it would have been very interesting to drive on it when the road would have progressed north from the traffic circle to the middle of the Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway where the expressway siddenly divides. Take a look at the SOB Expressway, see how it divides? The Parkway would have used this strip of land for its riht-of-way. See http://www.nycroads.com/roads/bethpage/
