PUG Proposes
Seee:cnn1a Bus Line
Across Town
Chevy Chase Loop
Changes Included;
Hearing Set June 80

Establishment of a second cross
town bus line, using Military road as
a crossing for upper Rock Greek
Park, was proposed today by the
Public Utilities Commission. A pub
lie hearing on the plan was sched-
uled for 10 am. June 30 in the Dis
trict Building boardroom.
In connection with the plan, the
Commission proposes changes in the
Chevy Chase loop. establishment Of
a substitute service to be known as
the new Nebraska avenue bus line,
and a shuttle bus route on Western
avenue from terminal near Chevy
Chase Circle to turn-around at the
intersection of Western avenue and
Chestnut street NV, near Rock
Creek Park
First Line Is Popular.
Gregory Hankin, commission
chairman, said the first crosstown
bus line, which runs from Massa-
chuSetts and Western avenues NV.
across Rock Creek Park by way
of Klingle road, to Bladensburg road
and South Dakota avenue NE. had
grown popular because of its great
reduction in travel time between
northeast and northwest Washing
ton. The line now is carrying about
II 900 passengers per day. not in
cluding short hauls. he said.
The new croSstoWn line would run
from Wisconsin and Western ave-
nues to Twelfth and Quincy streets
NE, over Western avenue, McKin-
ley street, Thirtieth place. Military
road, Concord avenue, North Capitol
street, Hawaii avenue. Taylor street
and Twelfth street. The return trip
would reverse the route.
New Substitute Line.
The new Nebraska avenue line,
as a substitute for the Chevy Chase
loop bus, would run from Pinehurst
Circle through Worthington street,
Thirty-frst street, Utah avenue. Ne
braSka avenue, Loughborough read,
Maud street, Manning place to
loop via Macarthur boulevard, Ma
comb street, Sherrier and Manning
places. The return trip would be
over the same streets to the inter-
section of Utah avenue and Thirty
first street. There the route would
go by way Of Utah avenue to Pine
hurst Circle. This route would pro-
vide an extension on either end OF
what now is the Chevy Chase loop
line. providing connections with
Macarthur boulevard on one end
and a loop through new territory
at the Pinehurst Circle end.
The commission proposes discon-
tinuance of bus service on Forty
/ first street between Wisconsin ave-
nue. and Western avenue, on Broad
Branch road between Mckinley
street and western avenue. and on
Military road between Thirtieth
place and Nebraska avenue.
