AT Least $500 Million

Traffic, Keneipp Says

The solution of Washington s
traffic problems will cost at least
5000 million, Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp told the Civitan
Club in the Mayf1ower Hotel yes
terday.
A report now being concluded
on the origin and destination of
motor vehicles using the streets of
the city will list all the projects
considered necessary and will set
priorities and give a reasonable
estimate of the costs, he said.
Lists Trouble Spots.
Mr.. Keneipp said his figure is
based on a very rough estimate of
some of the projects that have been
proposed, all Of them necessary to
relieve some of the Districts most
serious trouble spots. The more i'm
portant one he listed as the East
Capitol Street Bridge, additional
bridges between the Highway and
Chain bridges and a bridge to
Alexandria.
He also singled out the follow
ing grade separation projects:
Washington Circle and K street de-
pressed highway between Twenty
first and Twenty-seventh streets,
underpass under the Public Library
at Mt. Vernon square, Sixteenth
street and Columbia road NV,
Fifteenth and H streets and Benn-
ing road NE, Florida and New
York avenues NE. and Bladensburg
road and New York avenue NE.
Fringe Parking Backed.
He said the traffic situation here
could be improved by the abolition
of streetcars in favor of buses,
with off street parking. He said he
believes the traffic situation also
would be relieved If the Zoning
Commission would allow fringe
parking lots in residential areas
and get all-day parkers of the
streets in those neighborhoods.
Mr.. Keneipp said there has been
an increase Of 81 per cent IN the
number of motor vehicles if1 WASH
ington since l94l, and an increase
OF 8.3 per cent since 1851.
