Underpass Sidewalks
On Bradley Boulevard
|Urqed at Bethesda

Enlargement Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad underpass on Brad
ley boulevard to permit construc-
ton of sidewalks for pedestrians was
urged last night by the Board of
Directors of the Bethesda Chamber
of Commerce.
Marvin Simmons, chairman of
the Roads, streets and Bridges
Committee, said the 30-foot under
pass constitutes a hazard for both
pedestrians and motorists. It is par
ticularly hazardous for the hun
dreds of apartment residents on the
west side who must use the under
pass to get into shopping center,
he said.
Many complaints have come to
the chamber about the underpass,
Mr.. Simmons declared, particularly
from mothers who push their baby
carriages on shopping tours.
The underpass was built by the
county and turned over to the State
in the early 1920s, when there was
very little traffic on Bradley boule.
ward. The directors asked the State
Roads Commission to widen it.
The underpass also stands as a
barrier, Mr.. Simmons said, to the
proposed extension of Arlington road
to connect Georgetown road and
Brandley boulevard.
In other actions the board re-
quested the Capital Transit Co. to
provide better terminal facilities at
Wisconsin avenue and the District
line. and decided not to oppose the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. request for increased rates in
Maryland. Samuel E. Stonebraker,
chairman of the Public Utilities
Committee, made the report on these
two recommendations.
