06. WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE FOOTWALK FOR AUTOS--DELANEY Plan Prepared by City Engineers Shows Scheme Is Feasible. Approved by the Mayor. Under instructions from Commissioner John H. Delaney, and with the approval of Mayor Hylan, the enKineers of the Department of Plant and Structures have prepared a plan for the construction of a roadway on the Williamsburg Bridge be used exclusively by passenger motor cars.

Commissioner Delaney had come to the conclusion that it was entirely feasible to convert one of the footwalks on the Williamsburg Bridge into an automobile roadway without interfering with the needs of the pedestrian public. There are two these footwalksone on each side of the bridge, but the northerly walk has not been used for several years. The purpose is to use the southerly walk for the proposed automobile roadway, because it has the necessary connection with the street on the Manhattan side of the bridge, and to repair northerly walk for the benefit of the people who walk across the span. According to the engineers' plan. the automobile roadway will vary in width from 15 to a little over 20 feet, affording room for two lines of autos at all points.

The proposed roadway would be suitable only for passenger automobiles, because the height of the vehicles traveling on this roadway would be limited to overhead steel bracing at certain points to nine feet. 1 The estimated capacity of the new auto roadway would be 1,800 cars per hour. It is believed that this capacity will be greatly in excess of the needs of the present traffic and sufficient increase that -can be expected for years to come. Because of the harrow width of the roadway Mr. Delaney thinks it would not be advisable to operate traffic in opposite directions.

"Its 'great usefulness would be." he says, "to direct all passenger automobiles overt this roadway from Brooklyn to Manhattan during the morning rush hours, and from Manhattan to Brooklyn during the evening rush hours. The estimated cost of the roadway is $220.000. There will be no need to acquire additional land or fo encroach upon any thoroughfare. The cost is divided as follows: Manhattan $44.000 Alterations and reconstructions on 117.000 Brooklyn approach. 47,000 Engineering and contingencies 12.000 $220.000 The idea of an automobile roadway on the Williamsburg Bridge originated with Mayor Hylan, who requested Commissioner Delaney to investigate the feasibility of the project.
