Staten Island Traffic Report: The Moses Legacy and Beyond

The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is one of Robert Moses’s towering achievements, but many of the projects he designed for Staten Island were never realized. Citizen activists successfully organized to halt construction of the Richmond Parkway in order to preserve their “Greenbelt” and safeguard the borough’s natural resources. Join us for this symposium, featuring Kenneth T. Jackson, Jacques Barzun Professor of History at Columbia University, and Robert D. Yaro, President, Regional Plan Association, to explore Moses’s complex legacy on an island where cars rule and planners are still struggling to accommodate the mobility needs of the borough with the city’s fastest growth rate.

Where: Museum of the City of New York
