Caro seems to have several credible sources that Moses deliberately had parkway bridges designed to prevent buses from using them. But he has no source for the assertion that this was intended to keep poor blacks from using state parks and beaches. In fact, he doesn't realy make this assertion . He implies it by placing the statement about low bridges in the same paragraph as a laundry list of other Moses actions that discouraged blacks fom Jones Beach -- limited bus permits to Negro groups, shunting Negro buses to certain far away parking lots, etc. But he never actually says that the low-bridge policy was designed as racist.
