RPA opposed Robert Moses' proposal to build a bridge from Manhattan's Battery Park to Brooklyn, favoring the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel that was eventually built.

In 1949, New York Life Insurance Company completed Fresh Meadows, a residential development in Queens that embodied many of RPA's neighborhood unit principles-mixed-level residences, nearby schools and shopping, open spaces and pedestrian connections.
