	Jackie Robinson
		Jackie Robinson's honors at UCLA were impressive: for two years, he was the highest scorer in basketball competition in the Pacific Coast Conference, national champion long jumper, All-American football halfback and varsity baseball shortstop.
		Jackie Robinson's debut at first base with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947, in which he batted 0 for 3, was one of the most eagerly awaited events in baseball history, and one of the most profound in the history of the U.S. civil rights movement.
		Jackie Robinson was pronounced dead in Stamford, Connecticut on October 24, 1972 and was interred in the Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York; the highway that goes through the cemetery (Interborough Parkway) has been renamed the Jackie Robinson Parkway.

	Jackie Robinson Parkway
		The Jackie Robinson Parkway, formerly known as the Interborough Parkway, serves as a link between the Kew Gardens (Grand Central Parkway-Van Wyck Expressway) interchange in central Queens and Pennsylvania Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn.
		On April 14, 1997, the Interborough Parkway was renamed after Jackie Robinson to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
		The route of the extended Jackie Robinson Parkway was to be about one-half mile east of the L subway (Canarsie BMT) corridor, which was to serve as the route of another proposed highway, the Queens-Interboro Expressway (unbuilt I-695).

	Jackie Robinson Parkway
		There is no question that a drive along the Jackie Robinson Parkway - formerly known as the Interboro Parkway - is a beautiful one, particularly during the fall.
		From the bustle of the Kew Gardens interchange, motorists are immersed quickly into the natural canopies of Forest Park, and later, through the quiet of the Cypress Hill cemeteries.
		A major reconstruction of the parkway during the late 1980's and early 1990's has brought some safety improvements, as well as a new pavement.

		Jackie Robinson is a local hero even though he never played for the Mets.
		In reality, Robinson was dealing with racists in opposing dugouts, a few in his own, shrugging off the occasional death threat and, oh, yes, trying to hit Warren Spahn and Ewell Blackwell.
		You may not see the connection between Jackie Robinson and the Mets but it is surely preferable to Haliburton Field or Con Edison Stadium.

	Jackie Robinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Robinson was a disciplined hitter and a versatile fielder.
		Jackie Robinson passed away in Stamford, Connecticut on October 24, 1972 and was interred in the Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.

	Problem Areas For Van Wyck-GCP Repair Noted by linda j. wilson
		However, the merge from the Jackie Robinson Parkway to the westbound Grand central parkway west of the Van Wyck Expressway, which has been identified as requiring traffic to come to a full stop before merging on to the Grand Central Parkway, will be facilitated with the addition of an acceleration lane.
		The merge of the Jackie Robinson Parkway and Union Turnpike and the eastbound ramp of the Grand Central Parkway to the westbound Jackie Robinson Parkway present three problem areas.
		The merges have short acceleration lanes, and the Jackie Robinson Parkway and Union Turnpike has a steep downgrade, which will be corrected by relocating and moving the ramp and closing the mainline right lane.

	Interchange of the Week-#32
		The Jackie Robinson (formerly Interboro) Parkway begins at the interchange, and runs toward the lower left.
		On the Jackie Robinson Parkway, Exit 7 is for I-678 northbound, while Exit 8 is the parkway's terminus at the Grand Central Parkway.
		It is helpful to think of the Grand Central Parkway west of the interchange as the "leg" of the trumpet, while that part to the east plus the Jackie Robinson Parkway forms the "through" route.

		Unlike many other parkways in New York City, the Grand Central Parkway has had numerous improvements with entrance and exit ramps.
		One major exception to the improvements of the 1960's and early 1970's is the "Kew Gardens interchange," where the Jackie Robinson Parkway, Van Wyck Expressway (I-678), Queens Boulevard (NY 25) and Union Turnpike also meet.

		The animal, named Apollo, was safely recaptured in the Queens section of the city -- but not before the sight of him on the Jackie Robinson Parkway caused a multi-car accident.
		Durkin said police followed the animal for about a kilometer (half-mile) from the park to a residential street near the Jackie Robinson Parkway.
		The tiger had apparently strolled through some streets and stepped on to the parkway before settling in on the street where the police found him, police said.

		As kids, whenever we drove on the parkway, one of us would mention how it was the most dangerous stretch of road in New York.
		My mother could hardly bare the strain of the parkway after thirty years of driving experience, it was implausible that she could survive her first day out on this stretch of asphalt.
		Most of the parkway is wider, and it is nicely paved and is actually a very scenic ride through Highland Park, Cypress Hill, Glendale, and Ridgewood.

	A Picture History of Kew Gardens, NY - The Interboro (Jackie Robinson) Parkway
		The Interboro Parkway, now called the Jackie Robinson Parkway, was first proposed in 1901.
		Construction did not begin until 1933, and the work required disinterring bodies in Cypress Hills and Mount Carmel Cemeteries through which the Parkway had to pass.
		At Kew Gardens connections are made for points in Nassau and Suffolk Counties by way of the Grand Central Parkway and for the Bronx and Manhattan by way of the Grand Central Parkway extension and Triborough Bridge."

	newsobserver.com \| Jackie Robinson Stadium sounds right
		Tennis, allegedly the sport of the elite, has gotten it right three times, for goodness' sake -- first keeping the old stadium from the 1964-65 World's Fair, named after Louis Armstrong, the fl jazz musician who lived not far away in Corona.
		The man deserves multiple honors for the way he stood up to pressure and threats and normal competition that whitened his hair, aged his body, raised his blood pressure and perhaps hastened his death from diabetes, at 55.
		But at this date, nothing is going to besmirch the reputation of Jackie Robinson -- or of Arthur Ashe and Billie Jean King, for that matter.
