Mass Transit System Wins
Qualified Backing in Area

Planning Council, would pre-
sent its final views to the Bu-
reau of the Budget, and the
commission reserved the right
to argue its case before appro-
pirate congressional commit
tees.
The principal point of fric-
ton between Maryland plan
ners and the transit agency's
recommendations was highways.
Commissioner Donald E.
Gingery claimed that the Meta
highway proposals were
grossly inadequate" and would
require % lanes through Silver
Spring If they were followed.
Vice Chairman j. Newton
Brewer, however, urged the
commission to give tentative
approval to at least some por-
tons OF the NCTA plan.
One Of the principal points
made by the commissions tech
nical staff in examining the
META plan was the apparent
double stadard used in allow
ing highways through park
lands in the suburbs and not
in the District.
In a report to the commits
sion, the staff said the Meta
is opposed to bringing high
ways into the District on park
land but apparently is not OPP
posed to using similar land in
suburban Maryland.
Other Points Criticized
Other points of the transit
plan criticized by the staff in
cluded:
/. The suggestion that over
Evening star., 1963-01-24

passes be used to speed traffic
on Wisconsin avenue.
2. The plan to carry COM
muter cars through the west
ern portion Of Montgomery
County to Silver Spring and
into the District on a route
paralleling the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad tracks.
3. The plan to halt the An
acostia- Henson Creek express
way at Alabama avenue near
the end of Suitland parkway in
the District. The planners said
the area suffers from traffic
Jams today, and we do not
think this will change by 1880" Z"
The Maryland planners also
criticized the transit agency's
suggestion that portions of the
Inner Loop system in the Dis
trict be abandoned.
