bill Introduced
ToAIter Plaza

The House Public Works Com
mittee today had before it a bill
to carry out the District Com
missioners' program for widening
Constitution avenue and hide
pendence avenue and the re-
channelization of Union Station
Plaza.
The legislation was introduced
by Committee Chairman Buck
ley. Democrat, of New York, at
the request Of Commissioner
Samuel Spencer.
Explaining the need for such
highway changes. Commissioner
Spencer told Congress the street
system in the vicinity of the
Capitol grounds between Second
street Sc. and Third street S.W.
! is seriously limited"
Congestion Grows
Furthermore, he pointed out.
this section of the city's high
ways has become further con-
geSted by such improvements as
the Baltimore Washington Park
way and will be made worse
when the East Capitol street
bridge is opened.
The Commissioners feel that
the additional street facilities
which may be provided by enact
ment of the proposed legisla-
tion," Mr.. Spencer wrote, will
make it possible to meet the most
serious deficiencies and provide
for some increase in street traf-
fic capacity to meet imminent
needs"
The legislation would provide
that the Architect of the Cap
itol transfer Jurisdiction to the
Commissioners of land from the
Capitol grounds or in its vicinity
to widen Independence avenue
between Second street Sc. and
Third street S.W.. and to widen
SSAAoVASab4OA dtC1luC UGUWGGU
Delaware avenue and Second
street NE.
Differ on Method
To widen Constitution avenue,
7la feet would be taken of of
grounds on each side. Independ-
ence avenue would be widened
to a maximum of 26 feet.
The National Capital Planning
Commission. in a letter sent to
Congress by Commissioner
Spencer, preferred that Inde-
pendence avenue in the vicinity
OF the Capitol grounds be Wild
ened to the south instead of the
north, as the pending bill would
provide.
District officials, however. feel
their plan, which would not dis
turb the streetcar tracks on In
dependence avenue would be less
expensive than the one proposed
by the planning commission.
