Both the Police and the Bridge Commissioner regard the plan “a8 feasible, and Mr, Best {s quoted as eaying that tho Work of construction will be begun in the near future. _ This promised diversion of a large volume of foot travel from the street surface will to that extent relieve the rush-hour pressure and reduce the risk of accident from the indiscrimtnate massing within a restricted area | of vehicular, pedestrian and car traffic. There is prob- ably not to be found elsewhere in the world a worse , Boon, and any new outlet has advantages as being cal- emlated to lewen accident risk. . But not uutil tho adoption of the comprehensive plan @f relief proposod by the Municipal Art Soclety, by ‘means of a subway loop to the ferries, can an adequate _ solution of this vexed problem of city transit be looked for. The merit of this plan is that {t provides for a ‘eerles of Bridge sub-terminals and proposes to reach 14 “and tap at their sources the converging streams of | Bridge travel, conducting them to and across the ridge without transfer. The various stations on its route down Duane street to and through West, up Liberty and through Nassau, would serve as receiving and dis- tributing centres which would afford the only effective | Pellet yet proposed. ..
