A Job For The Planners
If in search for civic wrongs to be righted and mistakes
! to be corrected the city planning and zoning commission will
1 turn its attention to and point the way to elimination 01 tne
irregular and dangerous street intersections which dot heav
ily traveled thoroughfares of the city it will have conferred
upon the community an enduring service, and will have func
tioned well in justification Of its own existence.
Salem with its patchwork growth of irregular additions,
platted without regard to any general plan of a comprehens
ive street scheme and with little regard for any consideration
except those of the sales promoters, today offers a compli
cated problem in auto traffic engineering. The time has
passed when any extensive relocation of streets can be ac
complished at a reasonable cost, and the alternate remedy is
that of devising a system of trunk arteries reasonably free
from the sharp angles which constitute the principal haz-
.: Sards of motor traffic in congested districts.
To devise such a plan and formulate means by which it
, can be carried into successful execution Tit a. cost commen
Burate with the advantages is a proper function of the plan-
sing commission.
One of the real problems involved is that of devising an
equitable system of 'financing the improvements involved
the purchase of rights-of-way and the required paving opera
tions. In that the advantages to be derived are more of a
general than a purely local nature, it is not reasonable that
the expense should be assessed against only the abutting
. property, and it is doubtful if such work could always be
charged against the fund provided for the improvement of
street intersections. , . - ,;
Nor is it reasonable to expect that the owners of prop
erty required in etrecting proper allignment of the streets
should donate the land to be' utilized.
It is probable that the work could best be carried out
: through amended charter provisions permitting the orgarii
; zation of local improvement and assessment districts; or, it
; might better be handled through a special general assess
ment for such a stated purpose.
Such matters are, however, part of the job of the plan
; ning commission, to which the Capital Journal commends
such an undertaking at an early date. .
