Vast Broadway Arcade Proposed by ex Treasury Secretary
Ex Secretary of the Treasury Windom in London advocates a Broadway arcade project. The plan would tunnel under the existing street, light with electric fixtures, and place rail tracks in the center for city and national trains. A double street with a second tier of stores and integrated utilities would raise property values and transform urban travel. Engineers deem it practicable and say New York already supports two thoroughfares on Broadway.
