Korean War Veterans Parkway
The Korean War Veterans Parkway is a parkway that traverses the South Shore of Staten Island, New York, in the United States. It officially begins at the Outerbridge Crossing toll plaza and runs from southwest to northeast to a merge with Drumgoole Boulevard in the island's Greenridge section. The parkway is designated New York State Route 909C (NY 909C), an unsigned reference route, which continues northeast along Drumgoole Boulevard for a short distance to its end at an intersection with Richmond Avenue. The westernmost of the parkway overlaps with NY 440.
The parkway opened in 1972 as the Richmond Parkway. It was officially renamed the Korean War Veterans Parkway in 1997; however, the highway is still widely known by the Richmond Parkway name. As originally planned, the parkway would have continued northeast to Sunnyside and connected to Wolfe's Pond Park on Staten Island's South Shore by way of a spur known as Wolfe's Pond Parkway. The section of the Richmond Parkway east of Richmond Avenue was cancelled sometime after the 1960s as a result of community opposition; likewise, Wolfe's Pond Parkway was cancelled in the 1970s.
==Route description==
The Korean War Veterans Parkway begins concurrent with NY 440 at the Outerbridge Crossing toll plaza east of the New Jersey state line on Staten Island. NY 440 and the parkway remain overlapped to Pleasant Plains,〔 where NY 440 splits from the parkway and heads north on the West Shore Expressway. Past NY 440, the four-lane parkway gains frontage roads as Drumgoole Boulevard begins to run along both sides of the highway. Not far to the east, the parkway runs along the southern edge of Bloomingdale Park and connects to Maguire Avenue by way of ramps leading to and from Drumgoole Boulevard. The parkway continues slightly northeastward through Pleasant Plains to Huguenot, serving Huguenot Avenue with southbound exit and northbound entrance ramps.
From Huguenot Avenue, the highway takes a more pronounced northeasterly track through the neighborhoods of Woodrow and Annadale, meeting Arden Avenue by way of an interchange in the latter community. The parkway continues as a four-lane limited-access highway to Greenridge, where the road merges with the northern half of Drumgoole Boulevard to create a four-lane, two-way surface street with a Jersey barrier in the median. The Korean War Veterans Parkway ends at the merge;〔 however, NY 909C, the unsigned reference route designation for the parkway, continues to follow Drumgoole Boulevard to its end a short distance later at an intersection with Richmond Avenue.〔 Stubs intended to continue both directions of the parkway past Greenridge are present at the merge with Drumgoole Boulevard. The unused highways roughly parallel Drumgoole Boulevard, crossing over Richmond Avenue before abruptly becoming a small two-lane road just east of the overpasses. The road continues as a non-public asphalt roadway used for construction vehicles.〔
