    That’s easy – GRANDER Parkway. Then we can have GRANDEST. And THEN we have a problem!

    It’s already been named the Prairie Parkway.

    From TheNiche:

    It will be called the “Prairie Parkway”, and its path is already designated within Waller County as a north/south connector between Highway 6 as it veers north in the direction of College Station and the Westpark Toll Road.

    I’ve also seen it make an appearance in plans from Fort Bend County where it would connect to Spur 10, to the west of Rosenberg, then wrap over toward Pleak where it would intersect with an extension of the Fort Bend Toll Road.

    But there you have it, that’s the name.

    From joel:

    considering that it’d be without doubt a privately funded road since the gov’t seems to be pulling out of that business, i’d imagine it being something like the “Google DARPA Grand Parkway”.

    SuperUltraMegaLoop. Or maybe Crisis on Infinite Loops. You could basically go to your local comic shop for all the inspiration you need.
