Honorable Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled. In compliance with the provisions of section 33 of chapter 30 of the General Laws (Tercentenary Edition) the Division of Metropolitan Planning herewith respect­ fully submits the portion of its annual report for the year ending November 30, 1935 (Pub. Doc. No. 142), wdiich contains recommendations or suggestions for legislative action. The Division is fully conscious of the need of economy, and we have for several years limited our suggestions to those which we consider most necessary from a traffic or rapid transit standpoint. H i g h w a y P r o j e c t s . I. At such time as the Commonwealth can afford the expenditure, we earnestly recommend the following highway projects: The construction of a bridge over the Charles River at Gerry’s Landing, between Cambridge and Boston. This bridge will connect the Fresh Pond Parkway and its extension, the Alewife Brook Parkway, with the Soldiers Field Parkway on the Boston side of the Charles River. The State has already completed its new main northwestern highway known as Highway No. 2 from West Concord to the Alewife Brook Parkway. This highway will soon be extended to a direct con­ nection with the Mohawk Trail, and will become one of the most used routes in the Commonwealth.
