« the staff of RAILWAY OVERPASS 1S AGAIN INDORSED Brookland Citizens Want Grade Crossing Eliminated From Michigan Avenue. ‘The Brookland Citizens’ Association s in favor of the elimination of the dangerous Michigan avenue grade | crossing by the construction of & suftable overpass arching the tracks of Baltimore & Ohio Rallroad, Marvin . McLean, the association’s president, told The Star today. He made it plain, however, that his organization consid- | ers that the Monroe street viaduct | should be widened, a short distance from the grade crossing to get rid of | & hazardous traffic condition there. | Mr, McLean and his organization want | action in favor of the Monroe street | improvement now, not only because | has a good chance of being passed | Congress, as provided for in an {tém in the pending District appropria- tidh bill, but because the Monroe Street Bridge is dangerous and narrow. improvement, the president in- sisted, is needed now, entirely apart fiom the Mllcm‘ln avenue grade Cross- ing proposal. The president of the Brookland Citi- ens' Association pointed out that the proposed law, authorizing $135,000 as the total cost for the construction of the Monroe street overpass and needed improvements would be distributed as follows: One-fourth to be borne by the Washington Rallway & Electric Co., whose tracks cross the viaduct: | one-half by the Baltlmore & Ohio Railroad Co., whose tracks pass be- neath it, and the other guarter by the District government. It is not ex- pected that there will be any assess- ment against the interested property owners, he said. Acted After Study. | The action of the Brookland group, its president said, is the resuit of studies of grlm. H. C. Whitehurst, chief engi- neer and co-ordinator of the Engineer- ing Department of the District govern- ment, and engineers in the District Building, and their program has the indorsement of himself and his assc clates, because it is considered & pri ticable, feasible project to take care of traffic and make it safer and easier. ‘The association has gone on record as favoring the widening of Monroe street viaduct and the widening of Monroe street itself to Tenth street to make traffic safer, Mr. McLean said. “We also went on record unanimously opposing the closing of the grade cross- ing at Michigan avenue and favoring the building of an overpass as soon &s go&!lble," Mr. McLean said. “We feel, owever, that the Monroe Street Bridge should not wait for the enactment of the other legislation. The danger of the narrow Monroe Street Bridge is very great. A number of serlous accidents have occurred there. There has been one death at Michigan avenue crossing and a number of accidents. Both situ- ations are very dangerous, and the dan- ger should be removed. The widening of Monroe street is very important to the whole Northeast section, as it takes care of traflic going to Baltimore and to other points in Maryland. Wants Property Protected. “1f and when the overhead pass over Michigan avenue is constructed, care- ful study should be given to the plans, 80 that as little damage as possible may e caused to the buildings and grounds of the Catholic University of America. There are several million dollars in- vested in this institution, and, while it es in~ recent . g to grow and develop. Nothing should be done to in- re it. ’“"The cost of thuh:w;erléond bridge and the necessary con- demned for a new street has been esti- mated at not less than $600,000 by the eers of the District Building, who have made a careful estimate of the project. Consideration should Ev!nuw'houwbflrlhl! bus in addition to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Some plan should be worked out whereby too much of the cost of condemning the land for a new street would not be assessed against adjoining and nearby property owners.” Mr. McLean refers to & study of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission to igh ten ‘higan avenue at the grade crossing, a little to the north of the the street, and construct an overpass in this realigned thoroughfare.
