It’s worth noting that Winner's specific story about the low parkway bridges blocking bus access to Jones Beach (which he got from Robert Caro) has been debunked. Some design researchers in Canada, cued by earlier work in STS, finally dug up 1930s bus schedules to Jones Beach (east via Jericho Turnpike to Mineola, then south to Jones Beach) that simply avoided the low parkway bridges.
