The Long Island Business News reported on Wednesday that Suffolk County plans to ask the state for its fair share of the federal stimulus funds. Among the three shovel-ready projects ready to go is a "$4 million resurfacing job on Motor Parkway." This amount represents about double the initial capitalization of the parkway in 1906.

The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

I got a little excited but was hoping to read $4 million to resurface the abandoned portion as a walking/biking trail! I guess I need to keep working on that idea a while longer…
