N.Y-CONN. TRAFFI Macdonald Suggests Second Bridgeport-Greenwich Road Haftford, Feb. 16.—~As a solution of the ever-increasing traffic prob- lem on the Boston Ppst road, a plan for the construction of a parallel routs from Bridgeport to the New York state line near Green- wich that could eventually be made a scenic parkway, was outlined be- foro the Bridgeport Chamber of | Commerce this afternoon by High- way Commissioner John A, Mac- donald. The project, he said, was yet only in the process of develop- ment, but plans contemplated its possible conneclion with the new Hutchinson River Parkway, which the Westchester County Parn com- mission plans to build to Connec- ticut, “It is our thought,” said the high- way commissioner, “that with the ent widening of the Boston Post road to-thirty-six feet from Bridge- port to New York, trucks and local traffic, and such other traffic as would care to use the FPost' road, would be amply taken care of for many years fo come. Nced of Express Highway “What we desire Is an express highway from somewhere in the vicinity of Bridgeport west and parallel to the Post road, connecting into some system in New York state which will give easy access for pas- senger-carrying vehicles to interme- diate points and to New York city without delay."” The \’\Nstt‘llr'!(er has County projected Park three York city, approximately parallel and abdut two miles apart, he said. The first, or the most easterly one {from the Connecticut border, known as the Saw Mill River parkway; the second known as the Bronx River parkway and the third, which I8 nearer the Connecticut line is the Hutchinson Rivef parkway. “The Hutchinson River parkway, he said, “is the one with which we | are at present most interested, as it will strike the Connecticut line north of Greenwich In the vicinity of the village of Glenyllle, It may be, after plans are provided, that it will be more convenient for this state to consider a connection with the Bronx river route, but at present i seems that the Hutchinson rives plan is the most desirable. How- ever, thé possibility of any parallel route through Connecticut hinges upon the availability of a connee- tion at the Ne wYork line, ¥irst Place for Relief “Now in the building of snch a route, which I should like very much |to call a parkway, it is to be object to rclieve congestion on the | Post road first. If, in the process, it is possible to provide for future beautification, we, of course, will take this into consideration, al- though it must necessarily he secondary.

Traflic WHl Increase Commissioner Macdonaldl express- cd the opinion that it was impossi- be to see any limit in the growth of traffic between Connecticut and New York City through Fairtield county. He that it would be necesary to look far ahead into the future, as failure to do go would cause hard- ship within a few short years. “We must adopt some plan,” he “the execution of which will be a matter of time. Have no fear of over-development, as history shows that our fallures have been not for over-shooting the mark, but for under-estimating the traffic re- quirements, The highway depart- ment has no hqpe at the present time of ever catching up with traf- fic on the Post Itoad, Our only hope is to keep noz&o far behjnd it “Up to the present time, this state has bullt o purely scenic roads. ‘All have been économie and have been justified on the amount of passenger car traffic and com- modities which they have varried.

There were at least 26 people left out on the curb (if there had been stairs to the roof this would not have been the case). Two men smoked during the entirve trip, the bus travelled at about 38 miles per hour (this is not their limit) and everyone in gen- eral was jamnfed and generally dis- gusted with the new “efficient service being rendered between New Britain and Hartford.
