Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unpacks the 1879 debates over proposed elevated railways in Boston, Massachusetts. The Massachusetts senate heard impassioned arguments both for and against the construction of a rapid-transit system. Proponents argued that the elevated railways would alleviate the growing traffic congestion in the cityâs streets, providing faster and more efficient transportation for its residents. They also argued that elevated railways had been a great success in New York City, and that Boston should not fall behind its rival. Opponents contended that such railways would be an unsightly addition to the city, would harm property values, and would take away business from the existing streetcar companies, which were already doing a good job of moving people around the city. This book brings to life an important moment in the history of urban transportation, providing a fascinating look at the arguments for and against a technology that would eventually transform cities around the world.
