— The Great Bridge - David McCullough
Carriages, riders on horseback, drays, farm wagons, commercial traffic of every kind, would cross on either side of the bridge trains, while directly overhead, eighteen feet above the tracks, he would build an elevated boardwalk for pedestrians, providing an uninterrupted view in every direction.
This unique feature, he said, would become one of New York’s most popular attractions.
“This part I call ==the elevated promenade, because its principal use will be to allow people of leisure, and old and young invalids, to promenade over the bridge on fine days, in order to enjoy the beautiful views and the pure air.” There was no bridge in the world with anything like it.
And he added, “I need not state that in a crowded commercial city, such a promenade will be of incalculable value==.”
