Overview

This collection comprises the official ""Report[s And Final Report] Of The Bronx Parkway Commission,"" spanning the years 1909, 1911/12, 1913/14-1918, 1922, and 1925. These reports detail the planning, development, and construction of the Bronx Parkway, one of America's earliest parkways designed to provide recreational driving and protect the Bronx River. Authored in part by Madison Grant, the reports offer insights into the challenges of land acquisition, engineering, and the integration of natural landscapes with urban development. The reports document the transformation of the Bronx River corridor from a neglected area into a scenic parkway, showcasing the innovative approaches to conservation and transportation planning of the early 20th century. Historians, urban planners, and anyone interested in the history of New York and the development of American park systems will find this collection invaluable.
