Accession Number: 00241095
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THE PRINCIPLES GOVERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXTENSION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW YORK PARKWAY SYSTEM ARE REVIEWED. IT IS EMPHASIZED THAT THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MUST BE CONSIDERED: DEFINITION, LOCATION, RIGHT-OF-WAY, CROSSINGS, ENTRANCES, PAVEMENTS, BRIDGES, PLANTING, LIGHTING, STRUCTURES, ZONING RESTRICTION, SIGNS, SUBDIVISION PLANNING AND PUBLIC UTILITIES. MARGINAL RECREATIONAL FACILITIES WHICH CAN BECOME PART OF THE ARTERIAL DEVELOPMENT INCLUDE PLAYGROUNDS, SITTING AREAS, FOOT PATHS, BRIDLE PATHS, PROMENADES, OVERLOOKS, AND EVEN SMALL BEACH DEVELOPMENTS. WHEREVER POSSIBLE, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES WERE PROVIDED ALONG THE MARGIN OF THE EXPRESSWAYS IN NEW YORK CITY. EXPRESSWAYS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS WERE COORDINATED WITH THE HOUSING AUTHORITIES. CONCLUSION IS MADE THAT THE PRINCIPLES WHICH RESULTED IN THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW YORK CITY PARKWAY SYSTEM SHOULD BE APPLIED ON THE HUGE EXPRESSWAY AND ARTERIAL PROGRAM FOR MIXED TRAFFIC.
