I recall a practice question about highway designs, and I think it mentioned Robinson & Kessler. Maybe they were involved somehow?

I feel like I studied this, and it could be Frederick Law Olmstead Sr. since he was known for park designs, but I'm not confident.

Ah, I think I remember learning about this in my urban history class. If I'm not mistaken, the Bronx River Parkway was designed by Robert Moses, the powerful urban planner who was behind a lot of major infrastructure projects in New York in the early-to-mid 20th century. I'm fairly confident that's the right answer.

I'm a bit stumped on this one. The options don't seem super familiar to me. I'll have to try to recall any information I have about early highway development in New York. Maybe I can eliminate a couple choices and make an educated guess.

Okay, let me see if I can piece this together. The Bronx River Parkway was an early highway project, so it was probably designed by someone involved in urban planning or transportation infrastructure back then. Frederick Law Olmstead Sr. seems like a reasonable guess since he was a famous landscape architect who worked on a lot of parks and public spaces.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the Bronx River Parkway was an early limited access highway, but I can't recall who the designer was off the top of my head. I'll have to think this through carefully.
