Northern virginia reSluenLS
split with governmental officials
yesterday between two pro-
posed access routes TO the new
Chantilly international Airport
at a public hearing.
There was unanimous opposi-
ton to a northern route (A)
which would feed into the
George Washington Memorial
parkway at the proposed Cabin
John Bridge.
Most local government and
planning officials favored a
southern route CD which
would dogleg by the town Of
Chantilly and interchange with
the proposed new Interstate
Route So just northwest Of the
town of Fairfax.
Speakers representing citi-
Gems associations, however,
generally favored a more CEN
trail route OBJ which would run
almost directly eastward from
the airport and interchange
with Route So between Mclean
and Falls Church.
Only the Vienna Town Coun-
en- favored the route (C)
which would swing down west
of Vienna and interchange
with Route Sc Just south of the
town.
80 Speak at Hearing
The public hearing at the
Falls Church High School, at
which more than 80 persons
spoke, was conducted by r. e.
Elwell of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration and ]. L. Shot
well of the Bureau Of Public
Roads.
Speaking for the southern
access route, Mrs. Anne VIII
kins, chairman Of the Fairfax
Board of County Supervisors,
said that eventually a second
parallel route to the north
probably would be desirable.
She maintained that q north
ern route now would encourage
high density development in
an area where Fairfax County
is not financially able to pro-
vide adequate municipal serv-
Iices-even in the foreseeable
. future.
