	Lower Manhattan : News \| Smoothing Out Canal Street
		If you stand at the crest of Canal Street, right around Mulberry, and gaze down the crowded channel of concrete, you might be able to imagine the conditions that gave the arterial its name.

		A walk down Canal Street today shows that the city is doing its best to keep the bustling street orderly: All six of its lanes have been resurfaced recently, lane markers have been repainted, and traffic signals were retimed.

	Canal Street (Manhattan) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canal Street is a major street in New York City, crossing lower Manhattan to join New Jersey in the west (via the Holland Tunnel I-78) to Brooklyn in the east (via the Manhattan Bridge).
		Canal Street takes its name from an actual canal that was dug in the early 1800s to drain the contaminated and disease-ridden Collect Pond into the Hudson River.
		The historic townhouses and newer tenements that had been built along Canal Street quickly fell into disrepair, and the eastern stretch of Canal Street came within the ambit of the notorious Five Points slum as property values and living conditions plummeted.

	Daniel's Manhattan Architecture - Manhattan Bridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Built of steel, this two-level suspension bridge is often mistakenly attributed to Gustav Lindenthal, who submitted a plan for the bridge in 1903 that was rejected by city leaders for its structural innovations.
		The entrance to the bridge on Canal Street is decorated by a grand arch and flanking colonnades designed by Carrerre and Hastings.
		The Manhattan Bridge's steel towers are painted a pleasing dusty blue, which when combined with the delicate suspension cables make this massive bridge seem as light and airy as the Brooklyn Bridge seems heavy and substantial.
