The old Miller Highway (West Side Highway) and the Belt Parkway aren't comparable. Miller Highway was built as an elevated road above streets requiring little if any demolitionThat's not the basis I'm comparing them on. I'm comparing the money of the New York Central Railroad with public money. Cars would be taken off from local streets paralleling the Cross Brooklyn as well as some from the Belt. Yes, there would be a lot of trucks using it but that is due to the lack of a freight tunnel across the Narrows and the one-way tolls on the Verrazano which encourages trucks to use it eastbound And no traffic relief. |
