examples: This street, transferred to the West Side park system in 1879, was extended and changed into a parkway passing through that pretty and well-improved urban space, Union Park
Where the boundary roads are the only roads, the whole strip is properly called a parkway; and this name is retained even when the space between the boundary roads is reduced to lowest terms and becomes nothing more than a shaded green ribbon, devoted perhaps to the separate use of the otherwise dangerous electric cars.
