WAYS INTO ROCK CREEK PARK
PRETTY PART ACCESSIBLE BY
STREET RAILWAY.
Road Leading From Terminus OF
Piney Branch Road-Traction
Extension Proposed.

Easy access for pedestrians to one of
| the most beautiful parts of Rock Greek
Park, Commissioners mcfarland points
out. is provided by road leading from
the terminus Of the 18th street car line at
Pines Branch road southwest on gentle
slope to the shady valley.
| This road runs about 800 yards south
| of the Brightwood reservoir. II leads
into the heart of the park after only a
| short walk.
The connection of the present terminus
Of the Connecticut avenue line of the
| Washin gton Railway and Electric Com
pany with the Georgia avenue line OPP
Grated by the same company at Bright
wood, by an electric line skirting the
park. is the plan suggested to the Com
missioners by Thomas Blagden of Upper
| Saranac, n. Y, as practical means OF
affording easy access to Rock Creek Park.
| Mr.. lagden suggests that 18th street
he extended across the Piney Branch val
| ley, and that the new line follow the eX-
| tension of that thoroughfare. If the
work is done now. he argues, it will be
| much less expensive than if done several
years hence.
| For the extension of this railroad /
am confident I can obtain the donation
of any one street for one mile in extent
through Argyle my old home tract con-
tinues Mr.. Blagden. My plan is for
| the railroad to proceed on Columbia
| road, thence north on 18th street and
! over Piney Branch valley by bridge TO
Argyle Terrace, thence to 18th street,
thence to Colorado avenue. and from that
point to BrightWood.
please note that this avenue follows
one of the existing roads. BY this plan
| the railroad would be enabled to bring
| its passengers from Takoma and all that
section. which would avoid the present
necessity of crossing the city.
by this plan you will observe that the
railroad would go direct to the park at
The proposed playground to be located
near the reservoir site and would border
| the park for about two blocks. The ex-
tension of this railroad, of course, would
| increase values and create at once greater
revenues for the District.
"At the present time | am confident
