People who think Indianapolis has a sections downtown traffic problem ought to stand on a busy corner in some eastern cities, Pittsburgh, for Instance, and note the difference, Lawrence V. Sheridan, executive secretary of the City Plan Association, said today. Mr. Sheridan has just returned from Springfield, Mass., where he attended the national city planning conference. lie stopped In Cleveland, Rochester, Boston, Providence, New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh on the trip to study various features from the standpoint of hte city planner. "The downtown section of Indianapolis Is the best planned of any city In which I happened to be,” said Mr. Sheridan. "I believe we have the best laid out business district In the country, with the possible exception of Salt Luke City. “There is not a street In the mile square hero less than r.lntVy feet wide and Washington street is 12t) feet from building Hue to building line. “Within the strictly downrown section the problem of street widening and opening does not exist because of the wisdom of the original planner*. While other cities are faced with the necessity of very large expenditures for opening nw thoroughfares, such as in Boston, where anew street is being cut
through highly valuable business property, Indianapolis may go ahead with the correction of street conditions In the districts where property is of less value and will thus be able to develop* the city plan much more rapidly than those places where most of the expenditures must go for opening of short stretches of streets at very great cost. “This la something that Is extremely fortunate because it means every concern In the city which has to use streets for delivery purposes receives a direct financial return since theTe is net so much delay in getting through the congested district. It will take almost ten minutes longer to go a given distance through the downtown section of a number of Eastern cities than it does in Indianapolis. The expense of doing business In Indianapolis Is Just that much less. “Aside from this consideration our commodious traffic arteries downtown make It pleasanter for shoppers to get around than In many cities, which also is > directly beneficial to business. In the third place, laying aside business considerations, it makes the city more beautiful and hence a more satisfactory place In which to live.’’ Mr. Sheridan was greatly interested in the extension of the New York City plan to cover a region containing several thousand square miles in three States. New York was the first city to adopt and carry out zoning. The new scheme looks to a-population of 37.000.000 in greater New Y'ork in the year 2000 and embraces the study of steam and electric transportation, particularly rapid transit, major thoroughfares, recreation and zoning. c' | FRANCE WINS ON 2 POINTS AT THE HAGUE THE HACiUE.
