Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed set of plans and recommendations for building a comprehensive subway system for the city of Chicago. In designing these plans, the author carefully considered the existing Illinois Tunnel and the possibility of integrating the planned subways with elevated train services. The main focus of the plans was to provide a transportation system that would relieve traffic congestion, particularly in the business district, and potentially eliminate the need for the elevated loop structure. The author emphasizes the need for a high-speed subway system that could be expanded in the future to cover the entire city. The plans also consider the potential need for additional terminal subways in the business district. The author discusses potential routes for the subways, including north-south and east-west lines, as well as diagonal subways. The book also includes estimates for the cost of constructing the subways. The plans outlined in this book are designed to provide a safe, efficient, and cost-effective transportation system for the city of Chicago. By carefully considering the existing infrastructure and future needs, the author has created a comprehensive plan that can be implemented in stages as the city grows and its transportation needs evolve.
