Title
New York Area Roads, Crossings and Exits
Description
When I received this correspondence from Robert Moses at the age of ten, I had already been ensconced in my interest in roads and bridges for several years. This correspondence took on additional significance two years later, in 1981, when Moses passed away at the age of 92. I collected every article from The New York Times and Newsday profiling not only his record of accomplishment, but also the indelible imprint that he left on New York for generations to come.
In the intervening years, the passionate interest in roads and bridges took on a different form, particularly as I began driving on extended road trips in the late 1980's. It took the Internet to take my strong relationship with roads and bridges, particularly with those in the New York metropolitan area, to the next level.
In September 1996, I posted my first (non-highway related) pages on the web. At the same time, the "first wave" of highway-related web sites, including those from David Steinberg, James Lin and Scott Oglesby, were in production. In addition, several well-produced New York-area mass transit sites, including nycsubway.org, already had an established presence. However, despite their historical significance, the highways, bridges and tunnels in the New York metropolitan area did not have a comprehensive web site.
