"Instead of making provision for the comfort and happiness of these people and the coming generation.

what the boro president proposes to do is cut down the walking space along these important highways In order to widen by a few feet the roadway for those who travel in motor cars."

Mr. Winkler's plan calls for the removal of the stone wall along 5th ave, and utilizing 56 feet along the eastern edge of the park between 59th st. and 79th and between 86th and 110th to duplicate both the sidewalk on the west side of the avenue and the roadway and plant approximately 1,000 American elms along the center path or promenade.
