Reservoir Oval Roads Repaved
Reservoir Oval Roads Repaved
Description
The federal Work Projects Administration put many men to work in the Bronx starting in 1935 with street repair and maintenance projects impacting roads throughout the borough. One project involved the resurfacing of Reservoir Oval East and Reservoir Oval West with asphalt macadam, a project for which the WPA allocated $47,118.50.
The work along Reservoir Oval complemented the work of the Williamsbridge Oval Park, another WPA project.
