Hi, I am currrently working towards getting a M.S. in Sustainable Design and Construction in the Civil Engineering department at Stanford. In my infrastructure planning class I am doing a project on the effects of having versus not having streetcar. I wanted to use Main St in Jacksonville as an example. I chose this as an example because my parents live there so I know a few things about it. Anyways what I am looking for is a picture of Main St in Springfield before construction. I wanted to use this as a contrast to what it looks like now. When I was giving my 1st presentation someone asked "why not use bus, its cheaper?". I wanted to show them how after millions of dollars spent on new bus stops, divided medians etc, it will still not have the impact of a streetcar.
Thanks
Here's one from back in the day http://www.metrojacksonville.com/photos/index.php?level=picture&id=181
but if you do a search of main street you will find a ton of stuff on this site
Yeah I am using that one. I am thinking about a picture from the 80s or 90s though. I want one that is pre-construction.
Here are some photos just before construction began:
