Conceptual Drawings for Proposed Downtown People Mover, 1976-77

Subject

Downtown Cleveland
Mass transit
Transportation

Description

These drawings depict an artist's impression of what the Downtown People Mover might look like if it were built. The "Euclid - St. Clair Loop" was one of three loop plans; the other two were the "Prospect - St. Clair Loop" and the "Euclid - Lakeside Loop." Key reasons the plan was ultimately scrapped include the rising cost, possible harm to the historical integrity of downtown buildings, and county level opposition, particularly from the Board of County Commissioners.
