	Shuto Expressway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shuto Expressway (首都高速道路 Shuto-kōsoku-dōro "Metropolitan Expressway") is a network of expressways in the Greater Tokyo Area of Japan.
		The Metropolitan Expressway was first built between Kyobashi Exit in Chuo-ku, Tokyo and Shibaura Exit in Minato-ku, Tokyo in 1962 for the purpose of increasing traffic flow efficiency in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, thus optimizing and improving the functionality of the traffic system.
		Since then, 280 km of highway network has been built in the Tokyo metropolitan area; 32 km more of highway are either constructed or planned, making the Metropolitan Expressway a vast network of urban expressway in the Tokyo region.

		In 1953 Metropolitan Toronto was incorporated by the Province of Ontario, as a new upper-tier government for the City of Toronto and 12 surrounding municipalities (Townships of York, East York, North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough; the towns of Weston, Leaside, Mimico and New Toronto and villages of Swansea, Long Branch and Forest Hill).
		The 1966 Metro expressway plan showed new highways such as the 403, 404 and the 407 in the suburbs, and five new expressways in Metro Toronto: the Spadina, the Crosstown, the Scarborough, the Hamilton and the 400 Extension/Christie-Clinton Expressways.
		The Spadina Expressway was to connect central Toronto with the rapidly growing suburbs in the northwest, as the DVP connected with the northeast.

	City of Toronto, City Council Legislative Documents
		Metropolitan Council also requested the Commissioner of Transportation to report during the detailed design process on the feasibility of realigning the Cherry Street and Lake Shore Boulevard East intersection as part of this project.
		Metropolitan Council and the Council of the former City of Toronto endorsed the recommendations of this EA Study in December 1996.
		The location of the Expressway bents prevents the realignment of the eastbound lanes of Lake Shore Boulevard and there is insufficient property to provide a sidewalk beside the south curb of the road in its existing location.

	Richmond Interstates and Expressways
		The North Connection Downtown Expressway was the north leg of the delta interchange between the three expressways, the South Connection Downtown Expressway was the south leg of the delta interchange, and the Downtown Expressway ran from the east junction of the delta interchange to I-95 in the downtown.
		The Downtown Expressway comprises the south leg of the delta interchange and the Downtown Expressway from the east junction of the delta interchange to I-95 in the downtown.
		An elevated expressway would pass over all crossing streets without changing their grade, but then there would be a large elevated viaduct in and near urban areas, with the associated high visual impact, plus maximized noise impacts radiating for a long distance from the raised source.

	Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95, I-295 and US 1)
		The expressway was to give to both pleasure and commercial traffic the type of safe and uninterrupted roadway enjoyed by pleasure vehicles on existing parkways.
		One recommended route, a controlled-access "Cross Bronx" expressway that was to be open to all vehicles, was to connect the new George Washington Bridge with the then-proposed Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, as well as to a proposed expressway connecting the Triborough Bridge with Connecticut.
		This planned expressway system, which was to supplement the successful parkway system developed in the 1920's and 1930's, was unprecedented in scope anywhere in the world.

		While the larger Woods River Expressway was under discussion, the state was prepared to build the first 1/2 mile as a connector from I-84 to Farmington Avenue.

	State considers emulating Texas road-funding system RUIN
		The revenue would be used as matching funds for urban area toll roads, such as the proposed Lafayette Metropolitan Expressway, Rep. Don Trahan, R-Lafayette, said Tuesday at a meeting of the commission that's studying the expressway idea.
		The Lafayette Metropolitan Expressway is expected to cost up to $740 million, depending on which route is chosen.
		Some of those megaprojects -- such as the proposed Baton Rouge north bypass, the Lafayette Metropolitan Expressway, and the Interstate 49 North and South -- could possibly qualify as toll projects under the Mobility Fund.

		Brooklyn Heights remained intact, as the expressway was moved four blocks to the west and redesigned into a bluff-hugging, double-level roadway topped by the Promenade and its magnificent Manhattan panorama.
		For a brief period in late 1958, the expressway was proposed to carry the I-87 designation from EXIT 32 (Williamsburg Bridge / Metropolitan Avenue) north to the Triborough Bridge (and thence to the Major Deegan Expressway); I-278 was to begin at the Williamsburg Bridge exit and continue to the south and west.
		Further north in Queens, the expressway was rebuilt from Broadway north to 25th Avenue in Woodside.

		Given the cost, and the low volume of traffic on this portion of the expressway, many on council advocated using the money to demolish it and replace it with an improved ground level roadway, Lake Shore Boulevard East.
		The images predominantly focus on the breaking up of the existing elevated expressway and the building of new on and off ramps to connect the expressway with the east and west bound lanes of the Lake Shore.

		The key to the new system lies in a broader range laser sensor for detecting vehicles ahead and improved recognition capabilities, as well as the use of a high-performance braking system that operates smoothly in low speed ranges.
		Toyota developed this system using test vehicles certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transportation in 2001, conducting road tests on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway which is known for its frequently congested conditions and numerous curves.
		The new system’s low-speed mode, coupled with a conventional mode for mid-to-high speed range driving, is estimated to cover about 90% of driving-speed situations during a typical weekday on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway.

		But the metropolitan region is actually a web of neighborhoods and small towns, each with its own unique history, look, and ethnic and economic makeup.
		Later, the passage of the Interstate Highway Act in 1956 began to push business and industries out toward the expressway interchanges, even as new container ship technology moved the bulk of the region's harbor traffic away from the Manhattan and Brooklyn docks and toward Port Newark in New Jersey.
