  Canal Street (New Orleans) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canal Street is a major thoroughfare in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.
The wide median which was to contain the canal was referred to by early inhabitants as the "neutral ground," due to the hostilities amongst culturally distant residents on separate sides of the avenue.
Canal Street is often said to be the widest roadway in America to be given the term street instead of a more prominent title of avenue or boulevard.

 Street name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, most streets are named after numbers, landscapes, trees (a combination of landscapes and trees such as Oakhill is used often in residential areas), or the surname of an important individual (in some instances, it is just a commonly held surname such as Smith).
Street names in Canberra typically follow a particular theme: the streets of Duffy are named after Australian dams and weirs, the streets of Page are named after biologists and naturalists, and the streets of Gowrie are named after Australian recipients of the Victoria Cross.
In Manhattan and Seattle, East-West streets are "Streets" whereas North-South streets are "Avenues".

 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 a literal 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.

The northeast corner is marked by the junction of South Main Street from the southeast and Canal Street (Route 5) from the southwest.
Facing south onto Canal Street, this roadside diner on the western corner of the District, at the intersection of Elm and Canal Streets, directly abuts the sidewalk and hugs a steep cliff.
This modern noncontributing structure is situated on the corner of Canal Street and the end of Clark Street and is speculated to be a former service station because of the two garage bays with pull-up overhead doors on the left half of the facade.

 Tavistock Canal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
It had iron rails which transport containers between canal and river and it was operated by machinery driven by water from the canal.
The canal would be given a current flowing from the River Tavy in Tavistock and the flow would carry boats through the tunnel as well as work the wheel on the inclined plane and drive mining machinery near to the route.
Following the canal is said to be equally as easy and thankfully it (unlike the basin) has not been filled in at all.

 Guided Bus vs. Canal Street Connector
The Canal Street Connector that I propose would be a 4.65-mile route beginning at Miller Park on the West and terminating at O'Donnell Park on the lakefront.
Significantly, the Canal Street Connector would not simply replace existing bus service as the guided bus connector does, but would constitute an entirely new transit line in a developing area of the city — the Menomonee Valley — which has no transit service.
Finally, the Canal Street Connector could be expanded in the future to become a regional transit system by utilizing existing railroad rights-of-way which radiate to the west, southwest, and north from the vicinity of Miller Park (guided buses could not use these railroad rights-of-way because guided buses require the use of paved roads).

THE portals are of particular concern because of the potential noise, fumes and mixing bowl of traffic.
At the northeast corner of West and Vesey Streets, Verizon has a switching center, 140 West Street, with several hundred conduits and cable and fiber optic lines that would have to be relocated for a tunnel, the impact statement said.
A so-called long West Street tunnel that directly connects with the BBT and the BPU is needed to deal with the future traffic to and from Brooklyn's Gowanus Expressway which will be rebuilt with improved interchanges and hi-speed easy pass.

 Indiana Harbor and Canal
While the Corps did not consider the economic value of environmental benefits in its calculation of benefits and costs justifying its participation in the project, environmental benefits of the project were nevertheless quantified as part of the feasibility study, based on a “willingness-to-pay” survey of 1,000 households.
This means that the federal funding that is made available for the project is for dredging the federal harbor and canal only down to the authorized channel depths, plus an allowance to account for the inaccuracies of the dredging equipment.
With regards to the Indiana Harbor and Canal dredging project, we are not currently aware of sediment treatment methods that could be incorporated into the project while meeting the overall project goals of completing the work such that it is safe to human health, improves the environment and is economically beneficial.

 West Street Tunnel [Archive] - Wired New York Forum
South of Liberty Street, planners envision a busy strip with cafés, shops, art galleries and lots of new trees, and the sidewalk on the east side of the highway would be widened considerably, from 8-10 feet today to 35-40 feet, said Heather Sporn, deputy project director.
At the southern end of West Street, a new one-acre park would be created on a deck over the entrance to the underpass that leads around the tip of Manhattan to the FDR Drive.
I disagree with the one thing he did say about the tunnel which was that the street was going in it and an ill-conceived park is going on top of it, and that West Street would become more of an an anit-urban superhighway than it is now.

 iconocla.st -- a weblog by Schuyler D. Erle
The proposed site for the billions of pounds of construction work to be poured is none other than the Lea Valley, a dingy, polluted wetland / canal / garbage pit, sandwiched in the East End between Tower Hamlets, Hackney, and Stratford, filled with the detritus of 250+ years of industrialization in and around greater London.
Traditional London cab drivers are required to go through a rigorous years-long training course which includes hypnogogic instruction in the names and locations of every street in greater London.
Mini-cab drivers, on the other hand, are by and large some guy who just showed up with an unexpired driver's license, and haven't the foggiest clue where even the most basic nearby landmarks are, but they will still promise to take you there for a fiver.
