Gamble plan for a greater Waterloo boulevards
Architectural vision for Waterloo proposes hemispheric boulevards to weave through parks and riverfronts from Sans Souci to Rain Bow Drive with a river bridge to Cortlandt and a city hall site. It argues eliminating grade crossings would cut accidents and unlock development, funding streetcar improvements and a riverside boulevard system. The piece emphasizes staged implementation and railroad cost savings as rail lines would shift onto city property and unimproved land.
