Report to the Hon. Cyrus C. Miller, President of the Borough of the Bronx, On White Plains Road Experimental Pavements (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781146441940)

This is a report from the Department of Public Works to Cyrus C. Miller, President of the Borough of the Bronx, concerning experimental pavements on White Plains Road. Dating from 1911, the document offers a glimpse into early 20th-century urban planning and civil engineering practices. The report details the types of materials used and methods employed in the construction of these experimental road surfaces.

Researchers and historians of urban development will find this report a valuable primary source for understanding the challenges and innovations in roadway construction during a period of rapid urbanization. The focus on a specific location, White Plains Road in the Bronx, provides a localized case study with broader implications for the field of civil engineering and the history of transportation.
