Book Description

Excerpt from Parkway for the Mississippi: A Report to the Congress The several objectives of a parkway, such as the improvement of highway communication be tween populous centers and the conservation and development of recreational and inspirational re sources, are eminently worth while. The prob lem is to find an economical means of achieving them. The wholesale construction of a new parkway on an entirely new right-of - way would be very costly; but it appears entirely feasible to accomplish a conversion of existing river roads to parkway quality at reasonable cost.
