Exactly:We would be crippled now if we didn't have the highways. That said, in retrospect, Moses should have realized that mass transit also needed to be considered, and provisions in the highways should have been made so subway lines could have been built inside/alongside those lines (much like for instance the stretch of the Market-Frankford Line in Philly between the 2nd and Spring Garden Street stations where the line is nestled between I-95 for example). Of course, we say that now 50-60 years after Moses had his visions knowing the need for mass transit that was not thought out as well back in the day. |
