Underground park ride proposed to reach Schenley Park
A bold plan proposes a motor road through Panther Hollow ending in an elevator at Schenley Park to drop riders amid its trees. Routes include Boquet Street, Boundary Street, or a scenic Oakland Avenue bridge, with a $150000 base cost and a $25000 bridge upgrade. The scheme aims to cut park access time, offer 3-cent fares, and spur further park enhancements.
