Save American cities from urban renewal that destroyed the downtowns of most Americans cities and replace them will a waste land of useless parking lots.
The best place to start with this TL is likely just after American streetcar scandal in 1949 or 1950. With public outcry from the streetcar scandal Lawmakers become involved in upgrading the steetcar systems across. The second way is to change urban renewal program in a way that would help cities modernize without destroying the heart of American cities. The third way with the passing Federal-Aid Highway Act in 1956 it also authorization money for steetcar systems upgrades and for new Monorails. I can see Monorail begin build in southern and western cities with steetcar in old urban center of the Northeast and Midwest. A fourth is to limit suburbanization to some degree.
