The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-07

In a conference with William A. Van Duzer, director of traffic and vehicles for the District of Colum- bia, Senator Lonergan suggested that while the need for such pro- lection is prevalent in many cities throughout the country, 1t could well be undertaken in the District of Columbia as a start. Senator Lon- organ said that MT. Van Duzer is in favor of the proposal and had prev iously recommended to committee studying safety measures, that u1- derpasses should be considered at various points in the district.
 Pedestrian Traffic
 Senator Lonerga11 said that the pedestrian traffic at the circles on Washington thoroughfares Is very heavy, and llnderpasses would be effective especially at those points. Signal lights at the circles, he said, have been effective in keeping ve- hicular traffic on the move and in affording some protection to pedes- trians, but the number of converg- ing streets and the distance around the circles, makes pedestrian traf- fic extremely hazardous and some of the most serious accidents have occurred at those points. He point ed out that such projects could be undertaken with regular street and highway appropriations or relief money.
 Underpasses at busy downtown crossings are also desirable, Serla- tor Lonergan asserted, although he indicated that the depth of street car lines and sewers and conduits might make 1t extremely difficult from an engineering standpoint to establish such underpasses at a reasonable depth. Such underpasses he said would necessarily have to be well lighted and safeguarded, and the hours of use restricted, for the protection of all pedestrians, espe- Cially women and children.
 Conference
 The Senator indicated that he would confer with safety officials, and automobile associations, to de- termine what steps should be taken to place such 8 program into effect. He indicated that he would intro- duce necessary legislation in Con- gress at an appropriate time.
 With the support of the American Automobile Association and other groups Senator Lonergan has url- dartaken 8 broad program of safety legislation, and was successful in amending the Federal Aid Highway Act last year to provide for alloca-

tion of funds to the States only when they have compiled with the stand- ards of safety at highway grade crossings and drawbridges. He also passed in the Senate a bill establish ing a safety Standards Commission to deal with problems arising from highway accidents, and when the session closed was seeking an ape propriation fo ra special census of automobile accidcnts, showing the nature of such accidents and their causes. Appropriations were also obtained for special studies by the Bureau of Public Roads and the Accident Prevention Conference last year. Passage of the District of Columbia Automobile Inspection law also obtained Senator Lonergan's support.
