For the record, see nycroads.com, for more unbuilt roads, which is a great site.Moses also had plans for a lower Manhattan Expressway (Canal Street area connecting Holland Tunnel to Brooklyn), Mid Manhattan Expressway (Connecting Lincoln Tunnel to Queens Midtown Tunnel) and Upper Manhattan Expressway connecting George Washington bridge to The Bronx (without city streets), and see the housing projects post for the type of neighborhoods these were to go through. Do not compare those neighborhoods to what they look like and cost today..... (So I don't want to hear the "Oh, it's rich neighborhoods" excuse, as they were slums in those areas just like in Brooklyn, Bronx, too at that time). |
