STREETS IN POOR REPAIR
~ voLNEY B. FoWLER.


indianapolis is a city of traffic
islands. connected by bridges all too
narrow to stand the ever growing
load.
Possessor of parks aud spots of
beauty and interest rivalled by no
inland city, it's thousands of citizens,
who ride in motor cars, are not get
ting the full benefit of their common
possessions because of their isolation.
Liken the city to a wheel with the
business district as the hub, and the
spokes as the principal highways radia-
ting from il, for practically all the
points where people want to go wneh
they are bent on rereatton must be
reached through the business district
whenever the destination is on the other
side of town The wheel is practically
without A rim, for there is no contin-
nous encireling route Some day there
will be. for the city park department has
a plan for such, which will form ooule-
yard as beautiful and useful as any In
the world. But at present one must use
the spokes.
If city streets were laid out as they should
be. and sometime undoubtedly VIII be-
there would be network Of routes IN
addition TO the spOkes to connect the
points on the rim. It viii not be neces-
sary then 10 drive into the crowded
downtown traffic bottle to get from rair-
view TO Ellenberger on well paved streets
free from continuous streams Of vehicles.
Routing Of vehicles going from point to
point on the circumference in ways other
than through the downtown congestion
would help to relieve that crowding, as
has been pointed out in a previous phase

While it viii be many years before
citizens viii stand the expense of con
structing the many crOsstOwn highways
needed there are a number of practical
things which could be lone to make
some of the existing routes more usable.
Elimination Of jogs, construction Of more
bridges over the principal streams and
the repair of bad stretches of pavement
are among these remedies. The board Of
public works has made a start at
Kidding some thoroughfares of dangerous
and traffic slowing curves. Chief among
these are plRns to take the crooks out
Of the north and south highways which
twist like the letter in crossing Six
