No he didn't. The Cross-Bronx wasn't fully completed per his plans until the mid 1960s, but he felt compelled to throw people out of their homes in the early 1950s. In addition, his construction of the Horace Harding/LIE combo through Queens was a disaster. While he was opening new sections of the highway in Nassau County, his crews would be tearing up the existing roads in Queens in order to widen them.The LIE was obsolete the day it opened and has never been the swift mover of traffic that Moses said it would be. And how exactly has the Cross-Bronx helped Bronx traffic? Ever see the Cross-Bronx not packed beyond capacity? |
