That may be true, but under Mayor Daley's administration, rapid transit lines were constructed along expressway medians so that commuters had a real choice as to what mode of transportation to take. The first case of this of course was a replacement of the Garfield Pk el by the Congress St Line. The next two were the Northwest Expwy route and the Dan Ryan Expwy Line which provided rapid transit service to areas not previously served. Construction was carried out by an agency known as the "Department of Subways and Superhighways" which had responsibility for consructing just what its name indicated. Had Moses hd a vision for a properly balanced transportation system with a realistic combination of highways and rapid transit lines, New York would have had both the roads to enable it to keep pace with urban development and also the rapid transit lines to serve those who do not wish to use private automobiles. Even car crazy California has realized that a proper combination of highways and rail mass transit is necessary for the survival of a modern metropolis. |
