Broadway Tunnel (Los Angeles)
The Broadway Tunnel was a tunnel under Fort Moore Hill in Los Angeles, California, downtown, extending North Broadway (formerly Fort Street), at Sand Street (later California Street), one block north of Temple Street, northeast to the intersection of Bellevue Avenue (later Sunset Boulevard, now Cesar Chavez Avenue), to Buena Vista Street (now North Broadway).
==History==
The proposal for opening Broadway through to Buena Vista Street, and extending the street south into what was then part of Main Street, below Tenth Street, in order to give a continuous, wide thoroughfare from the southern city limits to the Eastside, was made as early as February 1891.〔"Sou', Sou'west." ''Los Angeles Times''. Feb. 26, 1891. p. 4.〕
Plans were prepared by the city engineer's office in early March 1895.〔"The Broadway Tunnel; Plans Prepared By The City Engineer." ''Los Angeles Times''. Mar. 3, 1895. p. 13.〕 The main argument for its construction was that a tunnel providing an additional opening on the north would decrease the constantly increasing traffic (horses, buggies and wagons), which was causing a dangerous jam at the corner of First and Spring Streets.〔"The Broadway Tunnel." ''Los Angeles Times''. May 12, 1896. p. 6.〕
