Private Use of Public Street,
That's Whot Parking Is

The parking of automobiles is private use
Of public highways, in the opinion of Mr..
Schaeffer, and he believes that eventually the
practice VIII be almost completely abolished
Even subway kiosks rising from the sidewalks
are jealously regarded by the Borough Presi-
dents office, No engineer who gives considera-
ton to New York's street traffic problems can
keep his mind from dwelling on that intersec-
tlon at Fifth Avenue and Forty-second Street
that carries the peak of the load The speed
of traffic for considerable time to the north
and south of Forty-sacond Street is deter
mined by the speed at which it can cross Forty
second Street A form of double-decking is
the most promising scheme for relief there.
The plan," according to Mr. Schaeffer Gig
TO depress Forty-second Street and, perhaps.
shghtly elevate Fifth Avenue Sufficient
width of the roadway would be depressed in
the center of Forty-second Street Immediate
~ after crossing Madison Avenue to provide
for getting the surface cars underground in
as snort a time as possible, and Immediately
after they have entered the portal to spread
the tracks TO provide room in the center of
the street to also depress a roadway to per-
nit vehicles to cross under Fifth Avenue.
The exits on the west side would be similar
to the entrances the east side. This ar
rangement will give independent roadwayg
for both the surface and vehicles.
Underground sidewalks should be provid-
ed at least on the northerly side extending
from the Grand Central Station to some point
west of Fifth Avenue, so that pedestrians
using the Grand Central station or the sub
way may use this sidewalk and avoid the
Fifth Avenue crossing at the surface.
There is row mezzanine platform in the
Grand Central subway station extending to
the building on the northwest corner of Van
derbilt Avenue. This can be extended in the
local subway track TO the west side of Madi-
son Avenue without interfering with the oper-
alton of trains. From this point it can be ex-
tended westwardly outside of the subway as
far as is desired, but at least west of Fifth
Avenue Immediately adjacent to the building
line, so as to permit show window display.
Eventually such sidewalk or sidewalks could
be extended to the subway station at Times
Square
And there, probably, is the spot where the
last pedestrian viii make his last stand.

Bronx as far as Pelham Bay Park and through
that to the present New York City line and
through New Rochelle to connect with the
Boston Post Road. Such driveways along the
easterly and westerly sides of Manhattans
water front, with its fascinating picture of the
life OF the harbor (that on the East Side
passing under the great East River bridgesl,
would be among the most notable drives of the
world, and their construction is the next OBJ
vlous step to relieve traffic congestion and the
overburdened north and south streets of Man.
haitian"
Engineering magic has been employed in
recent years in New York to wipe out a
traffic obstruction by completing Seventh
Avenue, thereby changing Greenwich Village
from residential backwater into thriving
link in the direct highway connecting down
town Manhattan with the Broadway and
Forty-second Street region. 1t was done
again with the building of the Park Avenue
viaduct that lifts north and south motor
traffic into the air and out of the congestion
of the Grand Central Terminal region
The Borough President of Manhattan,
julius Miller, is charged with the duty of pro-
viding physical remedies for traffic conges-
tion in the city, and, accordingly, in Mr.
Mlller's office now there is ripening a project
for repeating on the East Side the valuable
work that was done in cutting Seventh Ave-
nue. through the Village The East Side route
would give direct avenue from the toe Of
Manhattan into the Bronx by opening up First
Avenue from its dead end at Houston
Street Thus vast amount of traffic could
be routed up the East Side and across the
Willis Avenue bridge into the Bronx.
1t is the firmly held belief of Amos Schaef-
fer, consulting engineer in the office of the
Borough President, that there are many street
traffic distractions in New York that can and
should be removed before the city comes to a
final consideration of what Mr. Schaeffer calls
heroic methods, under which heading he CLASH
hes the scheme of the late Mayor Gaynor of
creating q new north and south avenue
II figured up roughly the cost of such
project once" said Mr.. Schaeffer few days
ago with reference to the proposal ior cut
ting street parallel to and between Fifth
and Sixth avenues. "It would cost about one
and one-half billions of dollars, sum greater
than the total bonded indebtedness of the
city. It is impossible thing.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-06
Traffic May Force Remaking
OF Sixth Avenue

"Long ago suggested that the Sixth Ave-
nue. elevated trains be put into q Sixth Ave
nue. subway. The elevated roadway could
then be widened to the facades of the build
ings, thus giving these places store frontage
on this viaduct which then could be used for
speedy motor traffic. In the space beneath
what is now the street surface could then be
utilized for heavy trucking, and goods loaded
and unloaded from what are now the first
floors Of Sixth Avenue buildings
'"The city might build ramps every six or
ten blocks for the use of vehicles TO mount
or disnnount from the structure. This viaduct,
instead OF stopping short Of Fifty-ninth Street,
could cross and lower its traffic load right into
Central Park to dssipate itself
"The big cost Of such scheme would be in
building the subway. Remodeing the elevated
New-York tribune., 1922-08-06

structure for the use of light motor vehicles
would not be costly. 1t is stronger now than
it would need to be for automobiles. The prop
erty owners would be benefited, too. Instead
Of darkened first floor their second floor
would become as bright as a frst-foor front
on Fifth Avenue, and equally convenient. Be-
sides, what is now the first floor would be
freight-receiving section vastly more conven-
lent than the present system Of elevators in
the sidewalks.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-06
Doubled-Decked Streets
May Be Common

"Doube-decking the streets has been consid-
cred by the engineers of the city for many
years. 1t is a problem they have felt they
would have to face sometime. 1t has been
done in places, notably in Park Avenue, at
Grand Central Terminal. At present this
vaduct swings around the westerly side Of
Grand Central into Vanderbilt Avenue. On
the east side of the terminal is Depew Place,
passageway or street property that is
owned by the New York Central and used for
mail and baggage delivery.
"The borough is now conducting negotia-
tions to get an easement for public traffic
through Depew Place. When this is accom-
plished-and the New York Central is friendly
to the idea-Park Avenue viaduct will split
in front of the station and swing around on
two sides to meet again in the rear. But, in
stead of lowering this stream of traffic into
Forty fifth Street, overburdened because
Forty-fourth Street is dead-ended there by the
station, we will lift it across and lower it into
Forty-sixth Street to pursue it's course uo
Park Avenue The easterly viaduct around
Grand Central Terminal will be as high as the
third story of the surrounding buildings, and
the mail and baggage trucks will continue un-
disturbed in the of the second floor level
On the westerly side the viaduct also will be
launched over Forty-ffth Street, being made
to climb at about Forty-fourth Street. When
this is accomplished Park Avenue will carry
it's full share of north and south traffic.
"The greatest congestion is in the central
part of the island Traffic counts have shown
that the peak of the load is in Fifth Avenue
and that the burden then slopes off to the
rivers I maintain that if there were good
facilities nearer the water front traffic would
use them. That is why what has been done
with Seventh Avenue should be repeated in
First Avenue.
''The dead end is at Houston Street. From
Houston Street wide traffic artery should be
cut through the most congested part of the
East Side-it might be ripped right through
Chinatown-to City Hall. Now practically all
of First Avenue is covered with granite paw
ing blocks. These, of course, should be re-
placed with asphalt. My own feeling is that
when completed First Avenue should go under
Manhattan Bridge and out through Chatham
Square. This route goes across Willis Avenue
Bridge into Willis Avenue. An immense load
Of Bronx and Westchester County traffic could
be cared for by First Avenue.
"There is really a vast amount that may be
done before extreme measures are necessary.
The West Side marginal viaduct, connecting
Riverside Drive with the Battery, is another
plan that would cost but small fraction OF
