I assume the politician who started it lives on one side of it and wants it for personal convenience.

If you take a look at the map, Freedom Drive is not even that useful. At best it is a minor shortcut if you’re coming from Myrtle Ave and need to go south, but don’t want to take Woodhaven Blvd. i guess?

I’m actually a bit confused. That looks like the road doesn’t actually cross the park, but is adjacent to it?

This is the Edge of Forrest Park, it’s a park twice the size of Central Park. This road cuts through the path for kids to get to the field from the playground

I’d bet a dollar it saves one traffic light and I’d bet a second dollar she lives within a quarter mile of the south end of the road. Opened for the relief of the most minor of conveniences.
