Pelham Parkway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bronx and Pelham Parkway (usually referred to simply as Pelham Parkway) is a parkway in the borough of the Bronx in New York City. Despite the parkway moniker, Pelham Parkway is a local street, with 2 main roadways (one in each direction), and two service roads. Like other parkways in New York City, commercial traffic is disallowed, and is redirected to the service roads. Pelham Parkway runs from the Bronx River Parkway (at a mutual junction with U.S. Route 1) out to Pelham Bay Park, hence the name, as it connects the two parks. At the eastern end, it junctions with Interstate 95 (the Bruckner Expressway at this point). Though the parkway ends here, the road itself continues as Shore Road. At its west end, it continues as East Fordham Road, then West Fordham Road (after passing Jerome Avenue) and in Manhattan as West 207th Street.
Pelham Parkway is maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation, while the surrounding landscaping and bike path are managed by the New York City Parks Department.
