[PRCo] PRCo Deadly Streets

[Herb Brannon]

As long as you're speaking of the Liberty Tunnels, here are two comparison
photos. One is the South Portal in 1932 and the other is an artist
rendering of how tthe South Portal will look in 2014 when the current
renovation of the tunnels is complete. As for the sidewalk through the
tunnel, it was removed in the last reconstruction in the 1970s.
