If one of the present short sections is extended, asfor instance the Euclid Avenue section, for several milestrain service can be placed in this subway and a limitednumber of street cars continued to be operated upon thestreet car tracks directly above. As this plan contem-plates a unified system, operated by the same companyand under city control, transfers can be given from therapid transit line to the street cars by vertical transferat station points. The subway trains will then perform. ■« ^ £lwaf9at. or cpvn cut/ or steam or: inttrurbart Right of — Union Ttrminal Coll. ^Aa/ror fieiahti Lino) OUTLINE MAP SHOW^ING PROPOSED RAPID TRANSITDEVELOPMENT FOR CLEVELAND the function of express service and the street cars onthe surface tracks above will operate as local service,making frequent street corner stops. The subwaytrains will stop only at stations spaced at about one-third-mile intervals. In the building of further streetcar lines or in the rerouting of the existing lines fur-ther development of this idea can be obtained by run-ning cars directly to certain stations on the extendedsubways where transfers can be given to the trunk orrapid transit subway trains. Thus it is planned to develop a system which will pro-duce a thoroughly co-ordinated development of surfaceand rapid transit lines.
