82-Mile River Drive Will Link Parks and Residential ~ Suburbs

ILWAUKEE, second greatest city

of the middle west, is most re- airicted in area of any big city In America. Projects offering it ex- pansion, therefore, are of unusual interest.

Milwaukee county's projected park- qway is designed to serve as the foun: dation for platting a series of sub- urban resident{al districts which will rival in beauty the Rowland park dix- trict in Baltimore, the Country cluo district In Kansas City, Mo., or Ger- mantown, Philadelphia, all nat(onally known and admired.

Following the “water courses anil connectipg all city and county parks this driveway will pass along tho most natural and attractive pathway in the county and will rival In beauty of natural scenery anything to bo found 1p other cities. On each side

of this strip of park will be afforded opportunity to develop residence dis irlets which can be Jaid out in park style, preserving the contour of the land and using curved streets, homes thereon being in effect erected in 4 park. Within a very few years after this parkway is actually laid out it {s Delieved that a tremendous develop- ment of residences along it will fol low. ‘The driveway, in connection with the county highway eystem, will make the trip to the city by auto mobile a matter of only a few mii utes, while the homes will be fn the country, surrounded by trees and shrubs This development will not be ex- clusively for the wealthy, but wi the |S of the automobile becoming

nd with pure air,

general, attractive subdivisions can Je Iaid out and lots sold at pric Which will enable persons of modet ate means to live amid wholesome and beautiful surroundings.

Plans for the development of this parkway include also the extension of modern conyeniences such a ers, Water, gas and electricity.

An 82-Mile Parked Drive

@he completed parkway will be 52 miles In Jength. It will start at Lake park, follow up the Milwaukee river to Lincoln park, thence along Mud through North Milwaukee, ‘across the watershed which separates the tributaries of the Milwaukee and Menomonee rivers to a creek which

sew

empties Into the latter, down that to Honey creek, which will be followed through “West Allis and across an- other watershed to the Kinnickinnic river which will be followed through Jackson and Pulaski p then to Humboldt and South Shore p t

Another parkw will follow Under+ wood ek, a branch of the Menomo- nee river, to Greenfield park, there touching the headwaters of Root river, and following another small water- SCALE > = course into South Milwaukee and to ihe : Grant purk. It {a hopod later to In- : ¥ Vara ate 7 “ terest Racine county authorities tn developing a similar park system and dive, along the Root river connec: ting the Milwaukee county system with Racine. A similar drive along the Milwaukee river north Js also for consideration later by the counties and cities interested.

Aids Conservation Move

In addition to providing pleasure and recreation and serving as & basis for the development of & most attrac: tive locaton for the homes of Mil wwaukee residents in the future tho park and driveway will fill an im portant function as @ conservation measure. By parking the banks of the watercourses, planting trees and shrubs along them it Is intended to re- store them to something of thelr nat- ural condition.

‘At several places along the route where there are considerable tracts of low, marshy Iand, now of no use, {t Is proposed (o create artificial lak by dredging, the earth removed being used to fill up the surrounding land fo make it of use. At least three such Jakes are proposed, one in the Lint coln park district, another west of North Milwaukee and another along Underwood creek.
