Description
The federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) constructed and paved Tryon Avenue in Teaneck, New Jersey, an extension of West Palisade Avenue in Englewood to Teaneck Road. The road was considered a “necessary improvement for business development” in Englewood, as more residents of West Englewood (in Teaneck) would have access to the municipal road system and head to Englewood to shop.
