High Bridge for the Trolleys in Uptown Bridges Debate
Ex-Judge James P Davenport backs Mr McLean’s $27,000 annual rent for each uptown Harlem bridge used by trolleys. He argues bridges cost over $1,000,000 and serve pedestrians, pleasure drivers, and trucks. He warns of reduced holiday traffic and parkway use if trolley lines encroach. He suggests High Bridge could become a trolley bridge with added construction. He stresses Washington and Central bridges must be preserved for public use and pleasure.
