Origin of the Name The Albertson Parkway was named after Gary Albertson, the leader of the group fighting for a freeway bypass to Monterey Highway, a deadly strip of road known as “Blood Alley.” Ironically, Albertson and 4 others were killed in a head-on crash on Monterey Highway in 1974. The park strip was named to memorialize Albertson, who lived in the neighborhood.
