Needed-Beauty of Park
Not to Be MARRIED

The development OF more direct
cross-city roads through Rock
Creek Park is one Of the important
topics which has come before the
National Park Commission for con-
sideration.
without marring the beauty of
the park, it is felt that east and
west routes for the accommodat
Of automobile traffic can be worked
out, with the result that Sixteenth
street can be brought in much
closer contact with Connecticut
avenue and Chevy Chase district
than it now is.
The National Capital Park Com
mission, at one Of the meetings last
spring, had this subject informally
brought before it, but took no &C.
ton. It is recognized, however,
that this Is one Of the important
features Of future city planning
which should be dealt with before
many more years have passed.
Park Entrances
At the present time the park
has entrances from Sixteenth street
at. Harvard street, Park road, the
Military road, and at Walter Reed
Hospital. Park road leads across
Geological Park and by way OF
Tilden street. but the Zoo route is
closed at night and the other road
is more or less inpractieabIe. All
of the other routes are circuitous
and ARE little used for cross-town
For a number OF years landscape
architects have informally consid-
cred this problem without arriving
at any decision. There is no dis
position on any side to sacrifice
the beauty Of the park to unitarian
interests, but officials believe it will
be possible TO solve the problem
without injuring the reservation. )
A number of years ago Frederick
Law Olmstead, New York landscape
architect. studied the problem and
recommended the construction of
at least one viaduct across the park
on the street level. This proposal,
however, was given little consider
alton on account of the heavy cost
of the project. At that time there
was little or no need for additional
cross-town routes for motor trans.
portation.
VIII Discuss Problem
The city planning committee of
the National Capital Park Commits
sion probably win take up the Rock
Creek problem in connection with
its consideration of a boulevard
linking the old Civil War forts of
the city. The development of Piuev
Branch road reaching from Sixteenth
street into the park also probably
NJ n -
a new road reaching Connecticut
avenue on the western side of the
park. Wl.at is required, according
to experts, is wide road running
as far as possible in a straight line,
without any turns or windines
which characterize the present
cross-city routes.
New proposals affecting the park
probably will be included in forth
coming reports Of the National Cap
ital Park Commission.

There was general discussion of my
