Selected Measures for the Partial Relief of Traffic Congestion in New York City

City Planning Commission, City of New York, 1946. Original wraps. Near Fine. Scarce November 1946 report, spearheaded by the Construction Co-Ordinator of the City Planning Commission of New York, the legendary Robert Moses. The report consists of research by Consulting Engineers Gano Dunn and W. Earle Andrews (of Andrews & Clark), and Gilmore D. Clarke (Chairman of Clarke, Rapuano & Holleran) and includes the "Report of the Engineering Committee on New York City Traffic". Beautifully illustrated throughout, with the "Perspective Drawings" by William Boice, Julian Michele and Cornelius Flynn, and the "Aerial Photographs" by Fried-Leder Photo-Aerographic Service. This copy is bright and crisp and very well-preserved in its maroon stapled wrappers. Internally very clean as well, save for one piece of writing, a small 4-word note at the top of the title page, written in pencil and stating "Robert Moses's Orig copy". (Though we're unable to autherticate this, given the very impressive provenance of this copy {shared upon request} we believe it's distinctly possible). Folio, sophisticated maps, photographs and charts (many of them in rich color) throughout. Printed by Steidinger Press Inc.
