Land Development Textbook
(OP)
I am a fresh graduate from University hired by a land development firm. I was wondering if you guys/girls could recommend me some good land development or transportation books that you use as references for design and construction.
Thanks
Thanks

You may be fine with your city's subdivision design codes and DOT's guidelines. Also, you may find useful the Land Development book by the National Association of Home Builders.
Hope this helps,

This "good textbook" to aid me with these designs is what I am looking for cvg. Could you recommend some good ones. I am using the city design standards and TAC manuals. I need textbooks that help me in design (example would be designing a pump station,etc.)

"Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis." Second Edition. Fred L. Mannering and Walter P. Kilareski. 1998.
If you would like to see a chapter from it I can send you the one I scanned in. It would give you an idea of how the book is laid out before you go buying it.
