== Remaining portions == [[File:BQG 73 Av 199 St jeh.jpg|thumb|left|Passing over 73rd Avenue]] Most of the road in Queens is a bicycle trail from [[Cunningham Park]] to [[Alley Pond Park]], part of the [[Brooklyn–Queens Greenway]]. It starts at [[Francis Lewis Boulevard]] in Cunningham Park. The path runs south, parallel with 199th Street, and crosses a bridge over 73rd Avenue. It turns east toward Francis Lewis Boulevard, crossing it on a bridge. It continues through the park, crossing under the [[Clearview Expressway]] through a tunnel, and then over Hollis Hills Terrace on a third bridge before leaving the park. There is access to 209th and 210th Streets in [[Hollis Hills]]. It goes through a wooded corridor, soon crossing over Bell Boulevard on a bridge, and provides access to 220th Street just east of Bell Boulevard. After crossing Springfield Boulevard on another bridge, there is access to Cloverdale Boulevard where the main line of the greenway goes north. The road continues as a spur route that enters Alley Pond Park, crosses under the [[Grand Central Parkway]], and provides access to Union Turnpike before ending at Union Turnpike and Winchester Boulevard at the park's eastern boundary.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/bikemap-2019.pdf|title=NYC DOT – Bicycle Maps|date=2019|website=[[Government of New York City|nyc.gov]]|publisher=[[New York City Department of Transportation]]|access-date=May 14, 2019}}</ref> The Nassau County roadway has been redeveloped, or turned into a [[Right-of-way (transportation)|right of way]] for [[Long Island Power Authority]] transmission lines. A small section of the roadway remains in [[Lake Success, New York|Lake Success]] in Great Neck, though unmarked and not open to the public. Most of this section is currently within the property of [[William A.

On the east side of the avenue, several hundred yards of road provide access to the Williston Park pool property abutting the LIRR.<ref>{{cite web|title=Long Island Motor Parkway|url=http://forgotten-ny.com/2000/07/long-island-motor-parkway/|website=Forgotten New York|date=9 July 2000 |accessdate=April 16, 2017}}</ref> {{Infobox road small |state=NY |type=CR |county=Suffolk |route=67 |location=[[Melville, New York|Melville]]–[[Ronkonkoma, New York|Ronkonkoma]] |length_mi=14.51 |length_ref=<ref name="inventory">{{cite web|url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/highway-data-services/inventory-listing |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140419020818/https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/highway-data-services/inventory-listing |url-status=dead |archivedate=April 19, 2014 |title=Region 3 Inventory Listing |publisher=[[New York State Department of Transportation]] |date=March 2, 2009 |accessdate=February 4, 2010 }}</ref> }} The road survives as a continuous county road, Vanderbilt Motor Parkway (CR 67), from Half Hollow Road in Dix Hills to its original end in Ronkonkoma, just a few blocks short of the lake. Signage along the way also identifies it variously as Vanderbilt Parkway and Motor Parkway. From Half Hollow Road, it goes northeast to NY 231 (Deer Park Avenue). It starts to parallel the Northern State Parkway and intersects with [[County Route 4 (Suffolk County, New York)|CR 4]] (Commack Road) in [[Commack, New York|Commack]]. It crosses the [[Sagtikos State Parkway]] (with northbound access northbound) and heads south to I-495 (the Long Island Expressway). The parkway heads eastward, paralleling the expressway (with access to and from the LIE) before ultimately crossing it and continuing southeast to [[New York State Route 111|NY 111]] (Joshua's Path). It then heads north, crossing the LIE again at exit 57, and then curves to the east and crosses [[New York State Route 454|NY 454]] (Veterans Memorial Highway). It heads east across Old Nichols and Terry roads ahead of one final northeastward turn to end at Rosevale Avenue ([[County Route 93 (Suffolk County, New York)|CR 93]]) in Ronkonkoma, close to the lake. <mapframe latitude="40.775342" longitude="-73.251343" zoom="10" width="263" height="245" align="right"> { "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "properties": {

1970s, while new intersections continued to be cut through it. In the approximate middle of the road in and around [[Islandia, New York|Islandia]], office construction and other commercial building has widened the road and made it appear a typical highway. In 2008 the road celebrated its 100th anniversary. On October 30, 2011, a centennial event marked the 100th anniversary of the completion of the Lake Ronkonkoma section. Led by the winner of the 1909 and 1910 Vanderbilt Cup races, a parade of automobiles made prior to 1948 went from Dix Hills to Lake Ronkonkoma.<ref>{{cite news |title=Motor Parkway Parade Rescheduled for October 30 |first=Chris R. |last=Vaccaro |url=http://sachem.patch.com/articles/motor-parkway-parade-rescheduled-for-october-30 |newspaper=Sachem Patch |date=October 21, 2011 |accessdate=November 25, 2011}}</ref>
