I think he was not too different from the city planners in most American cities. He built bridges and tried to build highways that connect them. Many locations were near the water's edge or near undeveloped "parks", and connecting already existent highways. Once the GW Bridge was built, the Cross-Bronx was inevitable. Building an underground tunnel to connect the Holland Tunnel with the Manhattan Bridge was pretty logical. Running the Gowanus Expressway where the Third Avenue (Brooklyn) El was and two blocks from a grimy waterfront was a smart and somewhat obvious idea. Even if some of his ideas were not good, he was no different from the city planners in Boston, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Omaha, etc. It's just that in New York everything is a MAJOR DEAL with heroes and villains, only because the population is bigger than everywhere else. |
