Movable sidewalks eyed as future rapid transit feature
A century old discussion envisions movable sidewalks in cities like Paris and Chicago with three parallel platform sections and varying walking speeds up to 12 to 14 miles an hour. Stairs every 69 feet would allow entry and exit, with a possible 25 feet walking distance to stations and a two cent fare. The idea highlights urban transport innovation amid crowded cities. Also referenced are Spain under King Alfonso XIII, colonial costs, and hopes for Spanish economic revival, plus a playful note about a black pig and white rooster on a volcanic island.
