WINNETKA ALSO PLANS, “A CITY BEAUTIFUL” Plenty of Park and Breathing Places Have Been I’rov- ' vided for in the New Plan When one knows that as many as 6000 automobiles tear along Sheri- dan road in Winnetka on Sundays. making that thoroughfare a night- mare to residents, it will be seen why the first step to make the town honk- less was to get the cars of? that road. So when Edward H. Bennett, éity planning adviser of the Chicago Plan commission, was asked to take charge of the move to make Winnetka a bet- ter place to live in, he decided that cars must be furnished other and quicker ways through the village and then persuaded to use them. Two New Motor Ways As a result. the village plan, soon to he published, calls for a well pavâ€" ed thoroughfare west of the village, which can be made by huildinpr a few ronnectinns, and the lure to it will be "Go as fast as you like." And to make things sure speeding in Sheri- dan road will be made pretty nearly a capital crime. “1'51 hum whim will Winnttku HY‘ (‘hiwum Want Tracks Depressed 'l‘in‘ nvxl big step in making Win- netkzi rloun and quiet calls for the d0pi‘os:inn of the Northwestern and intnrurban tracks.
