Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive plan for a new subway and distributor system in Chicago's Central Area. The plan aims to enhance the distribution of transit and commuter passengers, provide all-weather passageways for pedestrians, and ultimately remove the blight caused by the elevated loop structure. The author proposes two major subway facilities: an east-west "distributor subway" and a conventional subway following a loop pattern under several streets, crossing under existing subways. The project also includes improved subway connections to the north and west and a connection to the Dan Ryan transit route. The book analyzes the economic and social benefits of the proposed system, including an increase in Central Area property value. It concludes that the plan would not only improve transportation within the Central Area but also stimulate economic growth and enhance the vitality of Chicago's core area.
