Studying municipal maps produced during the redevelopment of Port Rellan between 1888 and 1905, historian Lina Okafor cautions against treating the maps simply as imperfect snapshots of the city. She notes that they regularly excluded lanes used by dockworkers while depicting proposed boulevards with the same solid lines used for existing streets. Okafor argues that these choices gave speculative plans the appearance of settled geography and cast older patterns of movement as though they were already irrelevant. She does not claim that viewers accepted this presentation uncritically: surviving copies contain hand-drawn paths and corrections. Rather, Okafor maintains that the maps' formal presentation was intended to make planners' preferred city seem both present and inevitable.
Which quotation from a municipal planning document would most effectively support Okafor's claim about the maps' intended rhetorical function?
