railroad days in trie growth of s.
ern North Carolina. Five hundred
miles in length and traversing Vir
ginia as well as this State, the I'ark,
way is one of the longest to be span
ned as a single unit in American road
building history. It will also be the
highest road in the East, averaging
2,500 feet and clinibing in several
sections higher than one above sea
level. The federal program under
P. W. A. is estimated to cost in the
twenty millions and will include the
development of wayside recreation
in addition to a parkway drive con
necting the Shenandoah and the Gri'at
Smoky Mountains National Parks.
These supei'bly wild areas have been
set aside for conservation and are
now being developed with appropriate
road systems and recreation features.
Although thty are relatively young
rrtemibers of the National family,
these parks already attract thousands
of tourists each year from all states
of the country. It is proposed not
only to make them more accessible
by the new road, but to create the
parkway in such a manner as to be
in itself an alluring invitation to the
vacationer.
It should be unnecessary to point
out the recreational value of tho Ap
palachians to its close neighbors. The
Carolina-Virginia mountains in their
variety and in their forest-clad friend
liness" call forth high praise from
the most casual observer. To as
sure for all time and all people this
great recreation resource, the most
important aspect of the National
project is that it will provide a

"parkway" as contra-distinguishe
Irom the ordinary cumnu-rcial high
way (with which the American tour
isty is all too familiar.)
The parkway idea is ;l relatively
new and a highly specialized solu
i.n for the traffic problem. It may
be defined briefly as a road devoted
to recreation and located within an
"elongated park." Parkways have
b.en developed in 'suburban regions
near New York City and in the case
of the Mt. Vernon .Memorial Drive
near Washington. The worth-while-ness
of this type of drive in the sub
urban plan has been amply demon
strated not only as a benefit to public
Tvcreation, but as the most efficient
solution yet devised for safe and rapid
mo vi ment of passenger cars. These
parkways, however, can hardly he
pointed to as true prototypes for the
paik-to-park program. This proj.ot
is a pioneer type by which the nation
al government seeks to meet on a
broad scale of interstate planning
the ever-increasing demand- of the
vacation tourist. Probably no scenic
parkway in the. world approaches the
magnitude of this conception.
Technicians locognizo three ele
ments of great importance distin
guishing the parkwav from the .com
mon road: first sufficient. .idth of
park land to .provide, a protective
"buffer" on both sides of the paved
motorway, excluding private frontage
arid giving opiMirtunity for extensive
roadside b'Saiitification ; second, the
elimination of principal ' road cross
ings, by means of bridges over or
under the parkway; and, finally, the
spacing of access roadways at infre
quent .intervals to minimize. 'the flic
turn with the main traffic stream. Of
these principles, that of the broad
insulating nark strip is considered
i of greatest importance in "the' case of
' PI. i ...n - . l. r, ' ' I . .. ......
oiienaiuioan-Aireai. omoity .viountams
Parkway, predicated as jt is on 'scenic
values, The control will " eliminate
the parasitic 'and "'unsightly, border
development of the hot-dog stand,
the gasoline shack and the billlwiard.
It will make possible the preserva
tion of unspoiled natural surround
ings. . The parkway, including its
structures, will be characterized by
simplicity and informant v, being dc
I signed ..to harmonize with this nat-
urai environment.
The roadway location is being care
fully studied -to -take 'best, advantage
of 'lie 'scenic variety and 'interest -of
each region. Contrary to some opin
ion, the parkway is not to be an. all
"skyline" location, Sections of moun
tain top location will be interspersed
with sections of mountain side, moun
tain stream valley and even occasion
al broad river, vallevs, A desii'aole
diversification of scenic type as well
,'is engineering requirements dictate
this principle of changing road posi
tion. The designers are aiming for a
higher standard of grade and curva
ture' than characterizes most of the
mountain motorways in this coun
try. It is believed that safety and
easy driving qualities are es-sential
requirements-in order that the mo
torist may devote a larger share of
his attention to the appreciation of
the unfolding scenery. It does not
follow, however, that the parkway is
Vine designed as a fast traffic artery,
Rather . it is to be a drive for the
leisurely motorist wfho may spend
days or even weeks along its five
hundred miles. For the reason of its
location in. the mountains' and be-,
o.v
flanked
is .1111-
against
conwneictal I
cause the Appalachians are
by fast utility highways, it
sideie.l practicable to regulate
ine ue 01 tile drive
vehicle-.
Part, uiar a; tent urn will be kivcii
by the iie.-ie,:u r- ;o the planning of
tile nvo-lane liiotoi way so that it
w;i. ieiH-e in tiu- rugged topography
with tlie bast possible scar. Hy
waiping 01' the loadside grading into
the existing contour of the ground
it i.- hoped to soft. ii thc evidences of
mac'i-ine cont ruction. U is planned
that extensive planting programs
along the parkway will augment the
existing foliage with native trees and
shrubs as dictated by the prevail
ing note. At focal points a concen
tration of (lowering materials, the
mountain laurel, rhododendron, azalea
ami the dogwood will be introduced 'to
heighten the interest of the drive.
Koresti y work will be applied to con
serve the wealth of existing plan:
growth, and under judicious super
vision to open up Klunpses into the
deep woodlands, meadows and dis
tant olT-capes.
Concurrently wih the parkway
program the government plans 10
develop at intervals wayside r crea
tion niqMntuiiities. In addition to the
parkway strip to be provided by state
funds, federal land programs have
been directed toward the acquisition
ol broad scenic .area's along the way.
These 'will ptoerve for public Use

motorist may .retire for in.ne ititi

The Shenandoah to Great Smoky
Mountains Parkway is being designed
by the engineer.! of the I'niti'd Stal s
Bureau of Public Roads in close col
lalioration with landscape 'architects
and architects, of the National Park
Si rvicc: The close woiking together
of these allied planning professions
should harmonize the factors of use
fulness and beauty in the conflicted
project. The most stubborn and time-
taking prowem, however, is acquisr-
lion (if the parkway land. This di-1
vision of the work is t hi' province of
the "state and to the -right-of-way
agents of the State Highway depatt
ment falls a large share of th'' re
sponsibility and credit for the for
ward, movement of the whole project..
Through North Carolina the park
way lands, which will vary in width
as directed by t hi' local scenic qual
ities, will average approximately 10"
acres per mile. In addition, the state
has been asked to negotiate for
scenic easements averaging approx
imately Till acres, tier uric, These
easements are a devise permitting
land to remain in private ownership
for its normal agricultural or resi
dential use, but by which the owner
agrees not to pae billboards un
sightly structures or refuse in the
area adjacent to the park ' land. The
intent of these agreements is to se
cure a' maximum of protection to the
natural scenery without increasing
the amount of land to be purchased.
A fair attitude on the part of the
property. holder and an attitude which
looks beyond se't'ish gain at the ex
pense of the ney road will hp, essen
tial to lapid progress; .
Tho effect which this project will
exert on the future growth of West
ern Nor'h Carolina is obviously con
jectural. We may reasonably expect
a sizeable increase in the flow of
tourist travel through this region
with the attendant benefits to the
"market" for local produce. The
belt of influence will not be restricted
to 1 lie immediate vicinity of the drive,
but will 'comprehend the many cities,
towns and individual farms for miles
on either side. Independent of its
employment relief aspects and its ob
vious recreation benefits to millions
annually , the project may therefore
Ik' said to have a dollars ami cents
value to the people of this region for
all time.
