WTH. This video was taking on a rare day because the cross bronx is always jam wit traffic 24/7 365 days a year and you move so slow that it doesn't even register on the speedometer.
If Robert Moses didn't get the current highways done there would be NO Highways in the NYC metro area. Nimby's would have killed all the road projects. That said RM could have done a better job with many of the roads. For example, the Van Wyck Expressway could have had the E train go down the median to the Airport.
Somewhere (definitely not up there), Robert Moses is smiling. Or maybe not, since his plans to ram an expressway through Greenwich Village got stopped in its tracks by Village residents. Good for them.
Ever read "THE POWER BROKER"?.. It goes in depth of all moses baby's. Spetacular Career, covering 48 years, greatest builder of public works the world has ever seen. However.. NYC highways move ok, but in dire need of modernization. When you talk of 20th century NYC,. Its inseparable from the story of Robert Moses, they are one in the same-
Genius or vandal? I guess it depends on whose home or business was being torn down for one of his "public works" (of course, the owners were never compensated properly). It's good that people who were going to be impacted finally got some spine and said, "Enough".
Probably one of the worst NYC xways to travel on...Little fender-benders, and you've got big gridlock...

Except Moses would have nothing to do with public transportation.

Bunch of cunty NIMBY's that stopped the Lower Manhattan and the Mid-Manhattan Expressways. Robert Moses was God.
Caro's book the Power Broker was full slanderous lies also, typical of journalists--
