described Monday at a meeting of
the Montgomery County Advisory
Committee on Post War and Coun:

Director of Planning of thes Mary.
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission g0t through.
Included in the Master Plan pro-
posals, were those fer express free
ways and parkways, major arter-
ial highways, and local major
streets. Chief interest centered on
the express system, part of which
is proposed for immediate postwar
constructions
According to the speaker, the
District of Columbia proposes the
reconstruction of K Street as a
cross-town express route, the west
erly portion of which will cross
Rock Creek Park on an elevated
roadway and will continue wester-
ly TO the Key Bridge near IN
Street. Tying in with the Dis
trict's project at this point and
utilizing. the George Washington
Memorial, Parkway and Macarthur
Boulevard within the District of
Columbia, the Maryland Master
Plan calls for a Northwest Free
way, which will closely bypass
Bethesda, Rockville, and Gathers
burg, connecting with Route 240
above the aforementioned town. A
local route, the Little Falls Branch
Parkway, for acquisition of which
the County Commissioners have al
ready provided funds, will tie in
with the express route and tap
the central business and apartment
house districts in Bethesda.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1944-11-23

Serving the Silver Spring area
and the communities directly to
the north and linking them with
the proposed K Street improve
ment, Key Bridge, and Arlington
via Rock Creek Potomac Park
way and local park roads in the
District, is a proposed Northern
Parkway. This route will connect
with Western Avenue and the pro-
posed extension of Oregon Avenue
near the northern corner of the
District of Columbia and will go
through or around the Silver
Spring community on one of two
alternate paths, heading finally up
ths valley of the Sligo Creek and
the Northwest Branch northward.
A circumferential route, describ-
ed asatiie sInter-G County Metropolis
tan Freeways was the third pro-
pDsal seuGlined by the Director of
Planning. This route, beginning
at the Northwest, Freeway in the
vicinity of the Radio Station
WMAL near Bradley Hills, will
run easterly, passing close to Ken
sington, Glenhaven and NorthWood
Park. After crossing Colesyille
Road near Burnt Mills, the pro-
posed Freeway will run generally
southeasterly through Prin e
Georges County, tying in with a
proposed Annapolis Freeway near
Ardwick.
A fourth parkway, which is al
ready approved, is the George
Washington Memorial Parkway,
which will be built by the Federal
Government along the Maryland
side of the Potomac River to Great
Falls.
