Roosevelt Island

Planning Commission officials
deny that the fact that the E
street bridge would pass over
Roosevelt Memorial Island was
a determining factor in the vote.
But, as an issue. 1t is far from
last in Importance.
The island, known then as
Analostan Island, was bought in
1880 by the Theodore Roosevelt
Memorial Association for 1884,
900. Two years later Congress
accepted the island from the
association as a lasting memorial.
But the association retained the
right to pass on any develop
ment" Of the island.
When the E street bridge
passing 40 feet over the island,
with piers resting on it-was
proposed. the association pro-
tested. It contends the bridge
project would violate the terms
under which it was accepted by
Congress.
It is certain that the associa-
ton, Joined by park and con-
servation groups from far and
wide. will be out in force when
the bridge hearings begin on
Capitol Hill. The association
already has drawn widespread
support for its stand. It's back
ers already include several mem
bers Of the Senate.

The Future

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia expects
hearings soon on two bills he
has introduced-one for a Jones
Point bridge and the other for
E street.
The Jones Point bridge. which
Mr.. Broyhill wants financed en-
tirely with Federal money. has
the support of every one, road
builders and area planners alike.
But the interest could fade fast
If Congress begins talking in
terms of anything but Federal
financing.
The E street VS.. Reaches
Run wrangle, meanwhile. won't
be the first that Congress has
had to referee.
The road builders and planners
clashed last on bridges when the
East Capitol street bridge-now
under constfuction-was author
lied. The planners wanted the
bridge at Massachusetts avenue.
Evening star., 1954-01-10

way to the street nearest their
destinations.
The idea that Reaches Run
traffic could feed into the Inner
loop" and be diffused-while E
street bridge traffic would break
through the loop to an already
congested downtown area-is of
primary Importance to the
planners.
Highway officials, as in the
past. do not agree with the i'm
portance of this concept. They
have different interest.
They question that approach
roads, on either side of the river,
can develop enough capacity,
without vast improvements at
tremendous expense. to justify
the Reaches Run bridge.
In Virginia the original
Reaches Run plan was to feed
traffic into major highways near
the congested Pentagon net
work. In the face of high cost
estimates for this. Mr.. Nolen re-
vised plans which were presented
to the commission only a few
minutes before it voted last week.
The new plans called for an
expressway following the Po-
tomac toward Alexandria, but
swinging westward at National
Airport toward the Shirley high
way. There it would connect
with a planned-but now non-
existent-belt road.
In his presentation to the
commission Mr.. .Nolen said that
the expressway should be count
ed as part Of the bridge cost to
a point short Of Shirley highway
ending near U. S. Route /.
For an additional 81 million, he
estimated to reporters. the con-
nection could be made to
Shirley.
Both the expressway and the
croSS-country belt road show as
individual projects in the COM
.prehensive plan. The belt road
also is proposed by the Regional
Highway Planning Committee.
But highway officials contend
that there is little possibility that
the belt road can be completed
by the time a new bridge is built.
Virginia has virtually ruled out
such improvements in the fore
seeable future.
The planners, in turn, contend

a f1rst-hand look at the area.
He decided in favor of the pres
ent pattern of bridges.
MIR. Truman's action was SIM
liar to the knocking together Of
heads that takes place in most
communities when road builders
and city planners disagree. Both
are subordinate to the city ex-
ecutive. He is able to listen and
decide.
Washington's road builders
and planners have no boss, short
of Congress. Because this is the
Capital, the Planning Commits
sion is a Federal agency. It's
functions go far beyond normal
city planning.
At recent Planning Commis-
sion meeting. however. Gen.
Prentiss suggested that the two
groups should iron out the points
of conflicts in the highway
bibles" AS a first step. the
commission last week instructed
it's staff to get together with
highway problems in the North
west section of the city. 49,
If they can get together there
may be a chance of making the
two "bibles" work side by side.
Evening star., 1954-01-10
The Esthetics

One of the earliest complaints
against the E street bridge came
from park officials, who con-
tended it would destroy the
esthetic value of the Capitals
historic central area.
The park officials contended
the central composition" from
Highway Bridge to Key Bridge,
would be marred by the elevated
E street span. They said that
Memorial Bridge must ever "re-
main the dominant crossing in
the area. :"
It is difficult to evaluate the
weight of esthetic considerations
carried in the Planning Commits
Evening star., 1954-01-10
The Traffic Need

Highway experts estimate A.
900 vehicles a day would use
the E street bridge if it were
built today. Eventually it would
carry more than 10000.
This would have two imme-
diate effects:
l. It would relieve congestion
on existing bridgeS-mainly Me-
mortal and Key.
2. It would give rush-hour
motorists, for the first time, fast
and direct access into the area
west Of the White House. On
improved city streets, some of
these motorists would have di-
rect access to destinations north
and east of the White House.
The Planning Commission
argues that the Reaches Run
bridge, feeding into the city west
OF Fourteenth street, would serve
an area that needs new bridge
lanes more than the area to
the west.
They see the western section,
II the still-existing tempos were
gone, mainly as an institutional
area. They argue that 68 per
cent Of the Government en-
ployes in contemporary build
1ngs, 66 per cent of the Off
street parking and IA per cent
Of the city's highest-assessed
land are located east of Six
teenth street.
AS planners, however, commits
sion officials say they primarily
are in favor Of the Reaches Run
bridge because it meets the
philosophy Of the comprehensive
plan.
BY this they mean that the

This freeway, in both the
commissions and the Highway
Departments bibles" is the
southern edge of a rectangular
shaped inner loop" road net
work around the central area.
To both highway officials and
planners the loop has two func-
tionS.
The first is to let traffic which
is headed elsewhere bypass the
crowded downtown area. The
second Is to let motorists head
ing downtown circle on the free
Evening star., 1954-01-10

reason is that they can't agree
on what approach improvements
are needed to make the bridges
work.
AS of last week Gen. Prentiss
put the E street cost at $32
million. He put the earlier
Reaches Run cost-with ap-
proaches tying into Pentagon
Evening star., 1954-01-10

Virginia approach roads to the
E street bridge also would require
vast Improvements. They con-
tend that on the District side the
E street span would create the
same bottleneck ills that the
Highway Department sees in
store for Reaches Run traffic.
The Highway Department
officials cite similar fears ex-
pressed by the planners about
past bridge projects. They argue
that they are the engineers who
have to make approach systems
work. and they are confident
about E street.
Entirely aside from traffic
movements. meanwhile, at least
three other issues figure in the

members agree they played some
part.

Service Director Conrad l..
Wirth, mentioned them. He said

Congress 10 Hear
Planners and Decide
Which Site Is Best

Departments choice since it was
recommended in January, 1852,
by the Regional Highway Plan
ming Committee.
The History

The committee said a new
downtown bridge was essential
to relieve congestion on exist
ing spans. Bridges far UP or
lar down the river, it said,
wouldn't do the Job.
After a study in the summer
OF 1852 for the Highway De-
partment the consulting firm of
Modjeski & Masters came up
with the same answers. It said
81 per cent Of all motorists
crossing the Potomac wanted to
cross in the central area, at
such a site as e street. It said
only IL per cent could be di-
verted to outlying bridges.
AT that time the Planning
Commission was dead set against
any new central downtown
bridge. Its thinking went like
this:
The important thing is to
keep vehicles out. not pour more
into. the congested central area.
How? First. build bridges at
Jones Point. Alexandria and at
Nebraska avenue. This would
draw away from existing bridges
about 20 per cent of the traffic
wanting either to go around the
central area or bypass the city
entirely.
Meanwhile. the city should
give high priority to the South
west freeway. a part of the inner
loop around the central area.
1t also should stimulate fringe
parking and better mass transit
facilities. With congestion re-
duced, the main business district
would be benefited. Strengthen
ing the business district is one
Of the comprehensive plans
main aims.
Another central bridge is un-
necessary, the planners thinking
went, because Of the Federal
employment setup in Washing
ton The E street bridge would
head for the area west Of Sew
enteenth street. where most of
the Federal workers are in tenn
porary buildings. But plans
call for the tempoS to be de-
molished, and there is the strong
possibility of the dispersal of
some agencies out of the city
entirely.
These thoughts all were cor
roborated in the summer of 1852
by a report from the firm of
Harland Bartholomew, then a
consultant and now Planning
Commission chairman.
In December, 1852, the Plan
ming Commission opened the
door for a reversal of its position
against a central bridge, but
ended by launching a series of
studies.
But as late as March. 1853,
Planning Director John Nolen,
jr., told the commission he
wasn't entirely convinced. If
the need were proved. he said,
he would suggest two new down.
town bridges-one just down.
river from Highway Bridge and
one just upriver from Key Bridge.
A District officials survey of
morning rush-hour traffic des-
tinations helped wipe out the
planners doubts. BY last fall
the commission staff was plump
ing hard for the Reaches Run
bridge suggested by Mr.. Nolen
in March.
The switch in position was
made official last week, when
the commission indorsed Reaches
Run and rejected E street by
6-to-4 vote. The concept of the
Reaches Run bridge. however,
had undergone great change
and, in effect, was an entirely
new idea.
With the fight narrowed to a
question Of the E street bridge
versus Reaches Run, the issues
between the road builders and
the planners have grown.
Evening star., 1954-01-10

They argued it was needed to
serve an area which had not
been fully developed in nearby
Maryland. The road builders
told Congress their origin and
destination traffic studies showed
the need already existed beyond
East Capitol street. They won.

that was in 1945. over develop
