You can see the previous condition of #JoaquinMiller road in this 1947 aerial map. It used to be a winding hill road. It was straightened and widened in this 'parkway treatment,' and now cars go too fast up and down it.

Irony; #KeySystem commissioned these photographs. Public light rail transit was about to be erased by the car industry.
