The aging parkway, originally conceived for leisurely weekend trips, was reconstructed into a safe, efficient commuter parkway. Tightly curved alignments, limited sight distances, a wood-post and cable-guide rail, short acceleration and deceleration lanes and ramps, and noise were addressed with widened roadways, culverts, noise walls, and landscaping while maintaining the area's aesthetic beauty.
