Viewed as Traffic Hazard. Blackwell declared he “supposed” the railroad wanted the road closed and the crossing abolished because it was more or less of a traffic hazard.

The fact that Arundel Station was a shipping point of some imj also cited by the committee, pointed out that this' feature would make the closing of the road harmful to_the railroad jtself. Furthermore, "shipping business and general traffic on the road is expected to increase as a result of the newly built_approach to Lemons Bridge, over the Patuxent River, which will make the road a direct connecting link be- tween the territory around Bowie and Anne Arundel County, Mulliken says. He states there is no sentiment in the community to eliminate the grade crossing through an underpass, as traf- fic over the road at present would not justify the expense involved.
