A prime consideration in selection of the site was easy access, according to WSM executives. "The majority of visitors will be coming from outside the immediate metropolitan area," said Irving Waugh, WSM president, "and the location should he easily accessible by car. "At the same lime, the highway access should be well-defined and should create an absolute minimum of traffic activity in the area surrounding the project other than on a major arterial. We will work with the local authorities in a coordinated effort to assure a smooth traffic flow into, out of, and past the park."
