Baltimore.
The Robinson bill in the past
drew opposition from these
sources:

Baltimore City traffic officials
who channel truck traffic into
the expressway.
Residents and businesses along
the old Baltimore boulevard,
who still hope to get trucks on
the Federal end of the express

using the old boulevard.
State Control Proposed
Some Federal officials have
proposed that Maryland take
over the entire expressway
which would mean, under pres

would be permitted. Maryland
Roads Commission officials have
resisted this move because they
claim they would have to spend
thousands of dollars rebuilding
the Federal end of the road so
that it could handle heavy
trucks.
In other actions at the Mary

House passed a bill which would
