Euclid Avenue Subway Plan, 1931 ID: 6660 | This file appears in: The Downtown Subway Plan This schematic map depicts one of many iterations of downtown subways envisioned for Cleveland over the years. In this version, a straight-line subway would have conveyed streetcars underground between West 6th and East 22nd streets (roughly from the today's Warehouse District to Cleveland State University). The elaborate triple turnaround beneath Public Square had a simpler alternative, shown in the inset--a garden-variety turnaround at East 22nd. The spaghetti-like loops under Public Square would have preserved a longstanding rule that cars approaching from both east and west did not cross Ontario Street, while the alternative would have allowed eastbound riders from the West Side to proceed unimpeded to East Side destinations along Euclid Avenue--a boon for stores and theaters east of Public Square. | Source: Cleveland Press, June 8, 1931, courtesy of Cleveland State University Library Special Collections Download Original File SourceCleveland Press, June 8, 1931, courtesy of Cleveland State University Library Special Collections "Euclid Avenue Subway Plan, 1931" appears in: The Downtown Subway Plan
