Existing and Proposed Highways in the Metropolitan Region, c.1926
|
In 1926, the Chicago Regional Planning Association published a study of Highways in the Region of Chicago, concluding, "The one cure for traffic congestion is to build wider roads and more of them." A sketch map included in the booklet showed "paved highways" and "suggested pavement." Instead of a grid, the overall pattern is one of spokes of a wheel.
