A Road Not Taken – ’63 Plan for Capital City and the Corning Preserve
The original 1963 Albany Plan for the Capital City shows what became the Corning Preserve to be a network of high-rise housing, a marina, and good connection via a series of bridges crossing the Riverfront Expressway. The Riverfront Expressway also was to be buffered a thick row of trees to reduce both noise and pollution. It would have been a very different city had this been built out.
