Peter Derrick, Tunneling to the Future: The Story of the Great Subway Expansion That Saved New York (New York University Press, 2001) If you think New York traffic is bad now, think what it was like in 1910, when the Lower East Side had the highest population density in the world and barely enough roads or subway tunnels to transport everyone. That all changed in 1913 when the two existing rapid transit networks made plans to merge; Manhattan was permanently transformed. An exhaustively researched account by the Archivist for the Bronx County Historical Society. MORE: New York University Press publicity page Amazon |
