West FreeWaY
Plan Offered
InMontgOmery
Would Replace
Wisconsin Avenue
Corridor Project
BY PETER MASLEY
Star Staff Writer

Star Staff Writer
A majority of the Montgom-
cry County Council and five
legislators have proposed a
western suburban freeway" to
replace the Wisconsin avenue
corridor plan.
The new freeway would be
similar to the Wisconsin aven-
lie corridor-a STA million
project which has met strong
opposition ever sine e it was
proposed more than five years
ago.
However, its location would
be different.
AS proposed, the western
freeway would connect Route
70-S, which en6s north of
Bethesda, with the Distric t
line. It would be an eight-la lane
expressway.
Route Not Delineated
I'VE did not delineate a route
for it however" Delegate
James r. Miller said.
He added: 1T would serve
the same general function that
the Wisconsin avenue corridor
was designed to serve"
The Wisconsin corridor was
designed to carry heavy COM
muter traffic from the Bethes-
da- Western Montgomery area
into the District. Generally, 1t
would have paralleled Wiscon-
sin avenue, which runs from
Georgetown across Western av-
enue (the District line)
through Bethesda to the pro-
posed outer circumferential
highway.
Plan to Be Submitted
At q meeting Friday night
the 10 county officials "felt
that a means of highs p d
highway transportation fro m
the Bethesda area to the Dis
trict was essential" according
to Mr.. Miller.
They decided to offer the
freeway proposal to a meeting
next Friday of the County
Council, planning board and
Legislative delegation. If they
approve it, the plan will be re-
commended for inclusion on
the State Roads Commission s
critical needs list for Mont
gomery County.
The group agreed with the
principle of the Wisconsin av-
enue corridor, Mr.. Miller said
but considerable sentiment
was expressed against the cor.
ridor itself.
I'VE did not take a position
that the Wisconsin avenue cor
: ridor is what we want" he said
The western freeway was ont
of several recommendation
offered by the county Public
Works Department for the cri.
tical needs study. The study
presented to the County Coun-
Gil August 20, called for a $50
million ad-building program
It did not include the Wiscon-
sin avenue corridor.
Ran Into Opposition
The corridor ran into opposi-
ton in Bethesda, where bust
ness men charged it would be
destructive to the community,
and at the District line, where
no provisions have been made
to bring 1t into Washington.
Besides Mr.. Floyd and Mr..
Miller, the meeting was attend
ed by councilmen John Henry

Thomas Wilson, and Jerry T.
Williams, and Delegates w.
