Excerpt from Roadside Development
The character of a man is Often said to be determined by the appearance of the house in which he lives. Similarly, the type of people in any community may be determined by the appearance of their roads. Unkempt roadsides do not give a favorable impression of the locality even though the road surface be of modern construction, while, on the other hand, improved road sides along good roads are bound to be noticed and appreciated by the greater percentage of the traveling public. City and subdivision streets as well as country roads, are benefited by roadside improvement, and the resulting increase in abutting property values cannot be overlooked.

Topics covered include: planting material selection and care; seeding and sodding; maintenance of existing trees and shrubs; public utility placement and regulation; and the construction and maintenance of roadside comfort stations. Early examples of parkways and roadside improvement throughout the United States are given, referencing examples such as the Bronx River Parkway and the work of the Wayne County Road Commission in Michigan.
