Road Building Advances In Wide Highways
Road officials advocate widening roads as the only feasible relief for congestion. Recent progress includes widening the Boston Post and Albany Post roads to four lanes, a two 44 foot strips with a 46 foot interurban track clearway near Detroit Pontiac, and plans for a 204 foot wide route around Detroit with sidewalks and rapid transit. Chicago plans a comprehensive wide-highway system. The debate notes a 40 foot Lincoln highway at Dyer Indiana proved insufficient. Although costly, wide roads are expected to lower overall expenses by improving speed, deliveries, and motorist pleasure, yielding long term gains.
