Motion on PARKING Curbs

The Forest Hills Citizens AS

streets intersecting Connecticut

Instead the citizens referred
the problem to their transpor-
tation committee for further
study. The committee was es-
pecially instructed to look into
the possibilities Of fringe park
ing lots in the area.
The group said the parking
jam in this area is caused by
Maryland residents who, because
of poor transit service in their
suburban areas, drive into the
District. park in residential
areas and ride buses the rest OF
the way to work.
The fringe parking plan was
incorporated into the action
when Arthur H. Hahn, associa-
ton secretary, pointed out that
restricting parking on Albemarle
street would only move the prob
lem farther north. (,

to such accomplishments as the
Turkey Thicket Playground, the

The results, however, were

planned Joseph w. Connolly, the

the war started it was postponed
