A Cateye EL530 with a Cateye LD1000 tailight (because of the good side views) might be all you really need. Maybe have a few reflective arm bands if you're worried about being seen.

If you are thinking at all about night riding, I'd consider the Nite Rider MiNewt, single or double headlamp. Incredible amount of light for not much weight. If I didn't already have the EL530 for the odd times like you describe, I'd get the MiNewt. It is definitely more expensive but far more versatile.
SadieKate, the tunnels are open to cars (although no commercial traffic), so I'm worried about both. I'm trying to find out how long they generally are. I would note that I read on www.roadbikereview.com that you have to lights on your bike to ride on the Parkway. I'm trying to find that from some official source though. There's so much stuff out there on the Parkway; I'm having trouble wading through all of it.

By the way, any decision yet on your new bike?
