Beware of couterfelt STREET EXTENSION —— Frederick Law Olmstead Approves the Commissioners’ Plans, Sete A GREATER WASHINGTON ASSURED The Original Idea of the City to Be Extended to Its Suburbs. os SURMOUNTED DIFFICULTIES Mr. Frederick Law Olmstead, the land- scape engineer, who was appointed to ex- amine into and report upon the plans of the Commissicrers for an extension of the streets and avenues of the District, has made his report to the Commissioners on the first section. The report briefly may be summed up as an approval as of the plans submitted by the Mngineer Commissioner. There are some minor changes recommended, but they are of no importance, and do not affect the general scheme in any particu- lar. In fact, the changes noted were all approved by the engineers of the Dis- trict before Mr, Olmstead séw them. It will be recalled that the Engineer Com- missioner, when the reference of this im- pertant matter was made to his depart- ment, decided that the most expedient way of handling the subject was to divide the District into sections and take up each section in turn. Then again the act of Congress provided that the plans must be made in sections, and steps were taken immediately to begin on the first section. That part of the District above Florida avenue and between North Capitol street extended and Rock creek was blocked out as section number one. This section in- cludes the most irregular group of sub- divisions in the District. There was Le Droit Park, Meridian Hill, Mt. Pleasant and others, none of them conforming strictly to the city plan or laid out with regard to each other. Delicate Initiatory Work. As an initial step the engineers made a small scale map of the section, and then the real study of the situation commenced. Field work was curried on upon experi- mental lines run, in crder to aid in the plotting and to establish the true relations between the subdivisions and the streets weher records were lacking or doubtful. Capt. Powell labored industriously to complete the map, and was almost con- stantly with the engineers. He made it his particular study—in fact, it became his hobby—and he gave to it the most con- scientious study and consideration. Citi- zens whose property was affected were in- vited to confer with him, and he stened patiently to every scheme advanced. At last the plans for the first section were finished, the final preposed map completed and Mr. Olmstead invited to pass judg- ment vpon it. The act of Congress pro- vided that Mr. Olmstead should report upon the plans before they were finally approved. Mr. Olmstead is a landscape en- gineer of considerable reputation, but when he arrived at the Commissioners’ of- fice and looked over the task that con- fronted him he shook his head. He ap- preciated the herculean task before him, and rather hesitated about assuming it. Finally he concluded to take a part of the first section home with him. It was that sectior around Rock creek, one of the most important, and by far the prettiest of the whole plan. The Future Sixteenth Street. The area covered by the first section embraces about nine square miles, two of which are in park; one square mile, divided after the city: system; four square miles unsubdivided, and two square miles being covered by irregular subdivisions. It takes about thirty good-sized maps to show all the details for a complete record. A large majority of the streets have been retained and widened, all changes and rectifications being by the extension of particular uve- nues and streets northerly from the city. Perhaps the street that is causing the most comment and the one about which the most interest centers is 16th street. According to the new plan, this street will be extended a distance somewhat exceed- ing six miles from the White House in the direction of the District line. One mile will be along the eastern boundary of Rock Creek Park, and, it is believed, it will make one of the most beautiful drives in the city. The grade is such that a beautiful view can be had of the whole of Rock Creek valley. Then there is 13th street, which will re- main practically as it Is now. There will be some widening of this street and 14th street, and both will be extended to the District line. It is believed that 13th street will in time become the great thor- oughfare into the city, rivaling Bright- wood avenue, principally because it will be free from railroad tracks. Slight Departures From Straight Lines. There is slight deviation from a straight line in the extensiun of New Jersey ave- nue. The present plan shows the avenue following the line of the small valley di- rect from the Bounday to 14th street and along 14th street road to 16th street ex- tended. A straight line will not be followed in the extension of this street, principally show the retention of the Old Piney Branch road and Central avenue. The breaks, however, are not important, and the highway will be fairly continued. The engineers are very favorably inclined to the extension of this street principally because it will be a great relief to 16th street extended. There is some slight shifting from a straight line in the case of Connecticut avenue, made necessary on account of the excessive cost, and for the reason that new gredes can be established on the east without working any serious damage to the established grades in Washington Heights. Columbia road, it has been decided, will be retained and widened into an avenue extended 1o 18th street, where it is pro- posed to have it joined with New Hamp- shire avenue extended from the subdivision of Petworth, Beautiful Parks and Driveways. But the scheme which has attracted the greatest attention of the engineers and which originated with Capt. Powell is the establishment of a chain of parks about the city, connected with each other by beautiful driveways, and making it one of the most beautiful drives in the world. A handsome boulevard will connect Rock Creek Park with Soldiers’ Home. It will follow both sides of Piney branch from the park boundary to 16th street extended, building lnes being 220 feet apart. East of 16th street the road will be 160 feet wide, taking in all of the Spring road, and making a new entrance to Soldiers’ Home. Another boulevard, 16) feet in width, commencing at the southeast entrance of the Soldiers’ Home, is provided for, which leads to Mount Hamilton and the Eastern branch, where a large park will be built upon the reclaimed flats. Two beautiful driveways on each side of Rock creek south of the Zoological Park have been pro- vided for, ending at Q street. Taking the mall and East Capitol street as another connection drive the link of parks will be complete and the most beautiful drive in the world twelve miles in length estab- lished. Mr. Olmstead will be requested to pro- ceed at once with his report, and after the map of the first section has been filed section number 2, embracing the suburbs of the northeastern section of the city, will be taken up. 2 Columbia Council.
