ath system of the Mosholu Parkway into the Garden at a point 
immediately opposite the northwest end of the Museum Building. 
This begins a most important and necessary improvement, for 
when finished it will provide an unbroken driveway from the 
Spuyten Duyvil Parkway to Van Cortlandt Park, the Mosholu

This connection of the Garden with the Mosholu Parkway was

Building southward to the entrance at the Southern Boulevard 
and the approach to the elevated railway, have made it possible
