All Countries tn the International Postal Union, NE of the most awkward traffic twists in the city must soon | be straightened out or become « thousand times woree.| The opening of the elevated approach to the Grand Central | Station, with ite encircling roadway, will make Fourth avenue throughout ite entire length « north and south thoroughfare of im- mensely increased importance. Of what use is this wide avenue if its traffic must trickle over the slender ramp to which the roadway now dwindles below Thirty-fourth etreet, where the eurface care enter the tunnel? Of what use is any avenue, however broad, if it be thus strangulated? ‘The time has undoubtedly come to smooth out the kink in Fourth avenue. The simplest, most effective way of doing it is what | fs known as the Collis plan. This plan, first of all, does away with the present tunnel entrance and its awkward abutment wall barring the enst side of the avenue. The Thirty-fourth street roadway is lowered six feet. Fourth avenue is graded across its entire width im a smooth ascent from Thirty-third street to Thirty-fourth street aud beyond. The Fourth avenne surface care descend into » new tunnel entrance north of Thirty-fourth street. Traffic has both aides of the avenue uninterruptedly clear. Moreover, Fourth avenue north of otrest fe 140 wide, South of Thirty-fourth street it is only 120 feet wide. new tunnel entrance would thus fall, as ft should, in a part of the avenue wider by twenty feet than that where the tunnel opens at present. Thirty-third street traffic would cross the avenue in a line without interruption. Crosstown Thirty-fourth street murface cars and Fourth avenue cars would cross and transfer pasnen- gers et grade, thus deing away with the present awkward stairway arrangement. Passengers would descend te the subway with fewer The Collis pian, moreover, leaves room te brild « Thirty-fourth street crosstown subway between the surface and the present eubway. From this desirable possibility springs most of the opposition to the plan. The great railroad corporation which looks upon Fourth avenue as the exclusive approach to its terminal would secrifice much to discourage any plan which tends to take passengers with too great ease and comfort in the direction ef the Pennsylvania Station. To carry out the Collis plan fe expected to cost not more than $300,000 including damages. Real estete experts in the City Depart- ment of Finance have figured that the enhancement of value of the land occupied by the Armory (which is city property) would cover not only the cost of eenstraction but the actual damages to adjacent property as well. i time the Board of Estimate the matter, The best plan is the plan thet will in the end serve the most people, whether of not they happen to be paseengere of a particular reflroed. Fonrth avenue badly needs iron- ing out et Thirty-fourth street. But i must not be a clumsy job that.will epofl the chance of a Thirty-fourth etreet eubway.
