Writings by William F Buckley describe Joseph Adler of Bicycle Expressway Systems proposing a Toronto bicycle grid. The plan would place 250 miles of suspended expressways with escalator access every mile to connect most city points. Adler rejects gentle grades, insisting on a true grade of up to 1 percent and avoiding uphill ridges.
A visionary plan outlines elevated glass covered bike corridors above urban streets with escalator lifts to traverse hills. It envisions removing cars, guarding riders from weather, and costing about 1.5 billion dollars while imagining 600000 bicycles in the metro and gasoline savings to amortize the expense.
The piece argues saving gasoline costs and social benefits from widespread cycling. It cites reduced accidents and healthier, happier urban life, noting Koch era bicycle lanes failed and urging civic action. Adler seeks support at a Pro Bike convention and lists a Toronto address for contact.
