Tunnel From Creenpoint
To Long Island City Urged
Traffic on Land and Water De
mands Under WAY Passageway;

A tunnel FOR pedestrians, trolleys
and vehicles under Newtown Greek,
connecting Greenpoint and Long Island
City is being strongly urged. Vernon
Avenue drawbridge, the main connec-
ton, has not been adequate to traffic
demands for some time, according to
supporters of the tunnel plan. The
span is now being repaired and traffic
is interrupted. The movement. of boats
on the creek, which is one of the bust
est waterways of its size in the coun-
try, also breaks repeatedly tho flow of
traffic between the two sections.
A tunnel is the modern solution; of
such a traffic problem, it is claimed
There would be no Interruptions, and
the stream of pedestrians. trolleys and
trucks would be continuous. =.
The tube would be only half MILE
long. and would eliminate the water
barrier between the two neighborhoods
and remove Interruptions to the free
movement of water traffic. Public
Service Conmiss ioner Morgan T. Don
nelly favors the tunnel plan
