In particular the NIMBYism that prevented it from being connected to Harrow back then. That would have changed the navigation of the city quite a lot. Times change, but people don't.

Sorry wut? How was Arlington going to connect to Harrow?

Part of the original design plan for Arlington was that it would continue across the river with a bridge there as well, creating a north south corridor there.

I've never heard that before. Thanks.
