On December 17, 1953, the City of Cleveland began an "experiment" with one-way traffic on Carnegie Avenue during evening rush hour from 4:00-6:30 PM. The "experiment" would last for 50 years, ending in 2003. This photograph, dated December 17, 1953 shows traffic heading east on Carnegie near East 89th Street, presumably after 6:30 PM. Note the five houses and apartment buildings on the south side of the street. All are now gone, largely replaced by a Cleveland Clinic parking lot that stretches from East 89th Street almost all the way to East 86th Street. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
