B—¢ = ROAD REPLANNIG HELD ESSENTIL Traffic Engineer Would End Present System and Spend 57 Billions. By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, June 1.—Dr. Miller Mc- Clintock, traffic research engineer, told the National Planning Conference yes- terday that the American street and highway system must be scrapped and rebuilt unless the automobile is to become a “malignant growth.” “This will cost $57,000,000,000,” he t will pay for itself in 43 years, according to an estimate made by Frank T. Sheets, a leading highway engineer.” Dr. McClintock, head of the Bureau for Street Traffic Research at Harvard University. displayed to the convention delegates illustrations of a “model city of 1960” designed by Norman Bel Geddes as an inevitable development of the “automotive revolution.” “Just as industry, after the indus- trial revolution, had to abandon past methods in order to utilize mass pro- duction, so the Nation must discard its useless street and highway system, designing and rebuilding roadways so that traffic may move swiftly, unim- peded and safe Dr. McClintock said. | “We can look with equanimity | neath buildings would remove stand- ing automobiles from the streets. Sidewalks would be above the vehicu- lar level, with pedestrian bridges at intersections. “The city of tomorrow, in its pro- visions for the safe and orderly move- ment of persons and commodities, will make possible for the first time the full benefits of the automotive revolu- tion,” Dr. McClintock said. “They are: Physical seperation of opposed streams of traffic, rcadway margins protected from obstruction and interference, in- tersections on major streets and trunk routes provided with grade separa- tions and, within the streams of flow, provision for segregation of function- ally different types of movement.” CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONS GIVEN $25 BEQUESTS Special Dispatch to The Star.

A network of elevated express boulevards is super- | imposed on a ground-level street sys- | tem for local traffic. Ramps run from the local thoroughfares to the express lanes. Arterial streets cross at different levels. Turn-offs permit motorists to change direction without crossing a traffic stream. That, Dr. McClintock | pointed out, would eliminate “inter- sectional friction,” the major cause of traffic congestion. Parking space be- ley white sheer crepe, spiked with bright color.
