people always complaining about robert moses and the highway system in n.y.c. these same people would be crying even louder about the traffic congestion in n.y.c without all of these expressways and parkways. it's the big city. don't like it then move to a little country town witha population of a few thousand people

The problem was not that they did it but the way they did it they decided to cut cost by disinfecting everyone that lives there and it’s most of the people who live there poor or minorities they just went ahead with out consenting, those things, though if they try to widen it or fix it, it’s just constant traffic and constant delay. If they never build it, there would’ve been semi trucks in the streets of New York.

This was and is a terrible road but with the GWB right where it is where else would it go? To get to New England and Long Island from New Jersey and points west and south there is no other alternative except to go around via 287 and 278, both of which didn't exist at the time.

Robert Moses was a SCOURGE on New York!!! A real dickhead!!!☹️👎👎

CAPPING THE CBE ! BUILD A FREE WAY DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE LONG ISLAND SOUND ! ALL THE WAY TO NEW JERSEY ! THEY SHOULD BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING ! AS THE CAP !!

that's how we move forward! and compensation.

The problem was not that the CBE had to be built, but the callous inhumanity it took to build it. Workarounds would’ve cost money. Couldn’t have that. Screw the people. Do it cheaper. Now look. It’s the least successful highway in America. Wins most crowded every year for decades.

It is of course impossible to justify the placement of the Cross Bronx Expressway. However, remember 2 things: 1 Ever since the George Washington Bridge went up in the 1920s there were plans for such a road-well before Moses came to office. 2. Prior to the Cross Bronx, trucks came across the G.W. and spend most of the day in local traffic trying to navigate through The Bronx; Those trucks were generally not even delivering to NYC or Long Island but going up to New England.

This is excellent.

Robert Moses made my family flee our home of at least a century if only a time machine existed to take that inconsiderate ass out

I started reading Caro's book from "One Mile" chapter (where this project analized) and find is the most boring of all the book: full of very subjective opinions, not compelling at all to me as a reader. I was very tempted to stop reading The Power Broker but I tried from other point and find is a really good book indeed, very entertaining and well written.

Moses that I he destroyed over destruction that I ever that he destroyed everything but let me say this everyone if there was a new inventions that are how to say they're using a sandhawks that that are way through into the tunnel right there for not interfere data of Plumbing water sewage and including for the neighborhoods but this guy that he corruption thought of a span of a trillions and billions of dollars for New York City that been saving all these years but his name of Robert Moses is not going to be a legacy he destroyed over the Bronx Community that are of where neighborhoods because the Bronx is not the only one but many of the neighborhoods that have from Queens and Brooklyn I mean this guy that he's not smart enough but he's just like a corruption that I destroy of I leave of A Bronx scarf right there but someday that over this highway will be covered and going to be like a beautiful neighborhood park kids children's grandchildren's families loved ones exercise playground realization and including that everyone there will be a peaceful quietly is for the people on the Bronx in New Yorkers but however everyone that inventions that are of Moses Robert he just now have over seen of a future technology it's just like using technology of a destruction

Thanks to the selfish greedy and many people at alright the destroyer of the Bronx of a neighborhood that used to be a long time ago but there is a hope for the future of ticket to get it back of this neighborhood or something is different setting relaxed fun playing riding jogging am a picnic and fun and to see something as friends and neighbors and families that are to have it show it to be United at all gather around in groups and to be of a better future that future that to cover up the Cross Bronx Highway into Bronx highliner Parkway that's why everyone if you see this message right now that many of you that of the Bronx leave of a scar of a market right there cannot be healing but many people of the bombs that just tired of it but this proposal has to be over proposed. It is for the better future of a better of job and a better of a man and woman doing a construction work over something creative a brand new job it could be expanding for the future of to the broad and for the people wanted to work how many people have a career options that up from offices City Hall's other people that they say that is too expensive and go take for a long long long time ago but many people they just don't give up already see the future there's already to see Santa is for future is for green paper money selfish and greedy it is time that they did to cover up the crossbones Highway and to see something is brand-new of a future the Bronx Park highliner Way but for the people in the Bronx and for the people of for New York as well but the question is that how they going to get all that money right there to building and covered up and to see this that to see transform into before and after I mean to everyone that you know the wrongs have a huge Rock right there you just need to put a concrete wall and then covered it up out of The Devout to all of it and they pulled up as well concrete of IBM's and then after that building of a park and to everyone with we're going to be relaxed joy and relaxation invited bicycle including that if they could be a possible of a how to say it is the Bronx Parkway bicycle line it could be better future right there everyone's going to ride a bicycle and including data of many people that are wanted to explore and writing and go faster there's always will have is to open arms and open hand and open up to everyone that other to Bronx go to have relaxation fun and everything it could be possible of a better future and a better future that are up something is going to be great and this message Tara of a from any of you people that if you could seen it and you could Visionary and you could draw it and you can see something before and after it could become true

No way would your sweet, Bronx dreamland exist today. Robert Moses was a visionary.

I have seen many different accounts of the construction of this highway and how it “ruined” a Bronx community. Each time, the producer fails to explain the bigger picture of this project. This is not just The Cross Bronx Expressway, this is interstate 95, the most important highway up the entire East Coast of the United States! This highway needs to pass through New York City at some point on its journey up the coast. Once the George Washington Bridge was completed, the only logical place to put I-95 was across this bridge. Subsequently, after crossing the thin sliver of upper Manhattan, the shortest route up the coast was straight through the Borough of the Bronx. To those scorn Robert Moses for the construction of this project, I suggest you look at a map and come up with a better route for this most important of highways!

put the cap on the CBE ! use new land from cap project to build affordable housing. put a cap on RR park ave line - bronx, 132 st -190 st. use land for affordable housing. build on the long island sound " A florida keys style overseas highway " . this will relieve the CBE

MAKE A Overseas Highway LIKE FLORIDA has through the long island sound !! This will solve many problems !

Love the sheep at the end clapping about “ critics” who happened to be taxpaying citizens of this fake democracy….

2:57 pretty amazing he accomplished it...progress keeps moving...I’m sure all the detractors never stepped foot or benefited at all from any of Moses’s public works projects🙄

Sad

Democrat propaganda. It was needed! Still is!

Gracias.

Can you tell me what music that is playing in the background

This narrator is lying.....after WW2 whites started to leave the inner-cities because the federal government was giving them easy loans to move into all white suburbs......most Jews ,Irish and Italians were leaving out of the area, and more African Americans and Puerto Ricans was moving in......the reason why Robert Moses ran that express way thru the Bronx was to let white people who was moving to Long island get easy access to the city and back home from work......the Puerto Ricans and African Americans were fucked over by this bullshit

Why is Northern Blvd just as fast if not faster than the Cross Bronx?
