Driving your into the downtown Wash
tngton-hopefully one day in the not too distant
futureyou will be able to pull directly off the free
way onto ramp leading into huge parking garage.
That's the concept the planners have in mind
as one means of solving the gigantic parking prob
lem of the new city.
Some early planning is being done on putting
this off-freeway parking concept into effect in con-
necon with the proposed center leg of the Loop
which would primarily downtown traffic
Under the newly approved Federal highway bill,
highway officials also have been given authority for
the first time TO include plans for parking in the
space beneath and above modern freeways of the
interstate system
This is just another example of the urgency that
has been attached to the need for parking in
metropolitan areas Up until the big emphasis has
been on getting freeways under way to bring in the
traffic and little public planning has gone into the
question of parking facilities.
However in the District, the Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency has had an influence in establishing
of-street parking facilities highway construction
moves along For example, some new parking spaces
have been created beneath the partially constructed
southwest Freeway. Fringe parking lots have been
established near main highways.

The Downtown Lure
By JOHN b. DUNCAN
District Commissioner

The decision to live, to work or even to go
downtown rests on individual circumstances and
varies with age motivation and family relationships
After talking with a number of people about
the draw of downtown, reached these conclusions:
Young people, those in the 1925 age group, like
the activity the iveliness the feeling of movement
downtown. Some in the 35-45 age group mentioned
that they like the greater convenience Of downtown
living and working, that they feel lonely in the
suburbs. Older people, those in the 50-to-70 age
group, told me they felt more secure downtown
nearer to doctors, hospitals fire facilities and the
other elements of compact society.
Couples with children said they didn't want to
live downtown because they felt the conduct of their
children improved further from the congeSted area
and they had more cohesive home life. But they
also mentioned they liked to come downtown for
shopping and entertainment.
There must be a lot Of baby-sitters in the
suburbs.

Pluns in Southwest

In the new Southwest, where commercial, residen-
tal and recreational projects beginning to bios
som, planners have already begun the blueprnts for
up-todate parking facilities In the LEnfant Plaza
complex, 2000-car underground garage is planned.
Other underground parking spaces in the designs
being considered for the Southwest waterfront.
Mult-leve parking garages alongside or above
the freewayS could become trend wherever the
freeways are constructed within the denser areas
of the CITY,
Those that might be built on the center leg,
which will run along the east edge of the revitazed
downtown section, would probably include shops on
the ground floor level and parking on upper levels
The garages would serve both workers and shoppers
Fast bus service or ultimately, subway ride would
link them with shops and office buildings
Eventually, unless long-range planning solves the
matter, the parking shortage in the central of
the city will become acute. Should heavier traffic
congestion lead to further onstreet parking restrc
tions the prospects of finding place to park for
even short time during the day will be GRIM At
the present time parking officials count about 435OO
parking spaces available in offstreet parking lots
and garages in the central business district They
say the number is far below that which is already
needed and with construction of additional office
buildings the available number of spaces will be
frightened further.

BuiIt-in Purkinq

One heartening trend has been the inclusion of
multi-level basement garages in the new mammoth
office buildings that are now being built or Just
completed in the growing downtown office sector.
more definite picture of parking needs will
be available in few weeks upon completion of
special survey of the central business district Officials
will then be able to say with a greater degree of
accuracy iust' where public or private financed
parking facilities should be developed

Modernistie parking designs Of this type ore
being considered for the center leg Of the Inner
Loop. Motorists would drive directly off the
building heiport covering the tracks in the
approaches to Union Station 1t took the FAA only
about one look and five minutes to rule out this
because of the danger in the high-tenSion lines
adjacent to and over the tracks.
The Helicopter Council, in comments filed with
the FAA didn't quarrel specifically with the Planning
Commissions site selection.
1t did say-without specific site suggeston-that
I'VE feel strongly, however, that the most pressing
primary need is for heliport within a few blocks
of WaShington's midtown business center"
The transportation study made by the Arlington
firm for the FAA said that per cent of the question:
naires returned showed that the trips to National
Airport originated in the downtown sector, with the
remainder dispersed wide area.
The site the Commissioners approved for the
helipor bounded by Canal street. the Pennsylvania
Railroad spur the new inner loop expressway and
D street SW.
The Commissioners, agreeing with the Helicopter
Council, feel the FAA is the organization to operate
it-not the District itself and not a commercial
operaor.

The Site Question

Several weeks ago, the District Commissioners
approved site recommended by the National Capital
Planning CommiSsion-a 35-acre site three blocks
from the Capitol in the Southwest redeveopment area
Final action is up to the Federal Aviation Agency,
which for obvious going to confer with the
Civil Aeronautcs Board and consider safety aspects
before any approval.
Federal Aviation Administrator Naieeb E. Halaby
feels the newly developed twin-turbne helcopter,
with it's increased safety and economic features can
great opportunity for city center to city
center transportation we'll transportation from
city center to airports and suburban points"
The CAB has about dozen applications on file
from commercial operators who want heicopter GER
tification for the Washington area
Also the boards views to placing heiport
where it can generate the most traffic may weigh
heavily on an FAA decision. Government subsidy
which helps pay for similar commercial helcopter
operations in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles,
must be considered
If location indicates the 'copter operation
could make more money than another-safety factors
being equal-subsidy will be a main concern.
Both Mr.. Haaby and the Helicopter Council of
the Aerospace Industries Association have pointed
out that the exact location is crucial to the deermi
nation of the volume of traffic"

OF Greatest Potential

A July report prepared by the Human Sciences
Research of Arlington for the FAA has indicated
that the hecopter offers the greatest potential in
airport transportation.
This means helport-or more than one-but at
least ready to operate by the time Dulles Airport
opens.
Except on the rare occasions of chartered hell
copter flight all travel to Nationaone of the worlds
most convenient airports-is by surface.
new high-speed, limited access highway to
Dulles is the FAAS answer to the distance the big
civil jet base is from the city, 80 miles If con-
structon maintains schedule, the road will be open
even before the airport.
The history of heliports in Washington has
hardly been started despite the vast and rapid
growth of the 'copter itself.
Pilgrim Helicopter Services, Washington firm
which pioneered its commercial in the Washington
area, operated from nothing more than fenced in,
open spaces in Southwest Washington and from the

to. Can you help us?
