ROCK CREEK BRIDGE| PROJECTS STUDIED Charles Eliot, 2d, Says Beauty of Park Will Be Kept. Traffic Speeded. Studies are under way by the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission. Charles W. Eliot, 2d, city plan- ner, sald yesterday, to examine thor- oughly the feasibility of erecting across IRock Creek Park three major bridges {to expedite traffic across the city, but at the same time preserve the beauty of the park. The bridges at Connecti- cut avenue and at Calvert street are the first links in this chain. In conjunction with the highway Broposal o Having great bidgts. - ro] of having grea s, simi- fn to the “Million-Dollar Bridge” Connecticut avenue, across Rock Creek Park at the w-cnlled Tilden-Upshur strect ; one to take the place of Military r!)ld "that will be just to the south and the third at the north end of the District, in the vicinity of Aspen ‘street. The third bridge, is considered far ahead in the future, for plans for thh have not yet been detailed. “We must study the traffic problem in its relation to the park and its cn-! Joyment. by the public,” Mr. Eliot ex-| lained. “If possible, we must route he through traffic over these bridges hat are to span Rock Creek Park and this will permit motorists in the park %5 drive leisurely without the bother of the traffic that must speed on its way. “When one is down in the valley he does not notice appreciably that there is a bridge overhead, where Connecticut javenue spans the park, and the noise ‘of the overhead traffic is scarcely per- kceptible. That is the goal toward which lwe are working in the proposals for the future—to permit the through traffic to go ahead over the transpark bridges and %o allow at same time the traffic in the park below to proceed more fleisurely, without the hindrance of com- ercial traffic and with a minimum of fts nolse.” ) The proposed new crossings over Rock Creek Park are based on & report on 'k problems made by Olmsted Broth- in 1918 ‘and high bridges are con- templated in the mm ¢ ¢ N’EWS IN BBIEF 1 FUTURE.
