Fort Hamilton Parkway was macadamized as far as Sixty- 

 seventh street, which, with the land between it and Sixty-sixth 

 street, will be the approach to the Shore Drive. The macadam- 

 izing of this avenue will make accessible all the roads leading to 

 points of interest about the lower bay. 



The macadamizing of Bay Parkway or Twenty-second avenue 

 was completed during the year, and a most attractive drive was 

 thus afforded to Bensonhurst Park; and, in connection with 

 Cropsey avenue, which is a road not under the control of the 

 Park Department, to Dyker Beach and the Shore Drive. 



Some considerable attention was given to the Eastern Park- 

 way, and a large portion of it was re-surfaced. The following 

 ordinance was adopted in relation to its use :
