CITY PLANNING AND EXPRESSWAYS

While city planning has been in operation in many municipalities, few have adopted thoroughfare plans that will supply a positive answer to the best location, or as to arterial connections to enable traffic to move freely between expressways and urban centers. A large portion of the rural areas through which these routes will pass are without any protective zoning or any comprehensive land-use plan. This article discusses how the best engineering talent is being used for inter-state routes and not local roads. The only way existing city plans can be effective is through effective co-operation between local planning agencies and the state highway departments.
