B—10 GRANT WORKING ONNEN PARK PLAN Program to Reduce Cost of P " Street Bridge to Be Submitted Soon. A new program for the development of the Rock Creek and Potomac park- way in the vicinity of the P Street Hridge is now being worked out under direction of Lieut. Col U. 8. Grant, 3d, director of public buildings and public | parks, and will be submitted to the District Commissioners in the course of & few days. Col. Grant explained today that under | the revised plan the double-deck bridge hitherto proposed for P street to take the place of the present structure would be eliminated. The bridge now proposed across Rock Creek in the park road will be appreciably cheaper than under pre- vious plans, he said.* ‘The park highway will be constructed on the east bank of Rock Creek and go under the P Street Bridge, making a rather sharp turn, with the bridge across the creek being constructed practically at right angles to the bed of the creek under the new program. Only part of the bank will be reinforced to make the roadway wider under the P Street Bridge, and Rock Creek will not be turned aside from its course, as pre- viously proposed. Provision has been made for future connection with the P Street Bridge and for a traffic outlet to the vicinity of O street. ‘The park bridge across Rock Creek near P street will carry the park high- way across to the right bank of the creek and thence on down that route to near the K Street Bridge. ‘The park bridge over Rock Creek in the vicinity of P street would be about a 90-foot bridge, and would cost be- tween $50,000 and $85,000, which is ap- precm;lg cheaper than other bridges proposed.
