Mr. Walter W. Lange
Chief, U. S. Park Police
'Washington, D. C. AQ24Z
Dear Mr. Lange:
As you are probably aware this Agency has encountered a traffic
problem during the morning rush hours, resulting in a backup of vehicles
in southbound lane of the George Washington Memorial Parkway approach
road to our compound gate. In an attempt to alleviate this problem. I am
communicating to the Superintendent of the George Washington Memorial
Parkway a request that appropriate traffic control signs be installed. and
that safety cones or painted stripes be utilized to channel northbound traffic
on our access road into the left lane. This should have the resultant effect
of freeing the right lane for traffic approaching the gate via the southbound
lane of the Parkway.
In view of the fact that a limited number of Bureau of Public Roads
employees, who enter the Fairbanks Research Station from this location,
must cross the right-hand lane of traffic, it Is possible that safety cones
and signs by themselves will not be fully adequate for traffic control. In
this regard it is requested that your office position at this site, on a 30 day
trial basis, a U. S. Park Police Officer for traffic control purposes. Based
upon recent studies it is suggested that this service be provided between
0700 a 0900 Monday through Friday.
Should it be determined that this service is germane to solution of
the problem, this Agency would appreciate consideration by your office of
continuing such a plan until resolved by other means. For your information,
this Agency is willing to reimburse your office for the services of the U. S.
Park Policeicer during both the 30 day trial period and any subsequent
use which mat needed.

 Approved For Release 2003/05/05 : CIA-RDP84-0078OR002000180036-4
If you concur in the requested service, please contact any office in
order that final details may be resolved.
Sincerely.

Mr. Floyd B. Taylor, Superintendent
George Washington Memorial Parkway
Arlington, Virginia gz209
Dear Mr. Taylor:
As you may be aware this Agency is experiencing morning rush
hour trade problems at the George Washington Memorial Parkway entrance
to the CIA Headquarters buildi:ag, La*gJey, Virginia. Representatives of
this Agency have examined the matter and discussed certain aspects with
U. S. Park Police Official*.
The problem appears to result from the inability of north and
southbound Parkway traffic to effectively merge prior to entry to the Agency
impound.
In an *tempt to resolve this difficulty the services of your office
are requestad for the following:
l'thbouud Approach Road
a. Through the use of safety cones and paint striping,
close approximately 25-50 yards of the right lanne, immediately
prior to the Agency compound. The effect of this action would
force traffic to the left lane and facilitate entry to the Agency
Compound.
. Replace the existing "Merging Traffic Kee
Left"
p
sign w*th a simplified "Keep Left" sign.
Southbound Approach Road -
Appropriately paint or otherwise mark this ramp to restrict
approaching traffic to the eatr+enae right side.

In addition to the above actions, this Agency is requesting by
separate correspondence the services of a U. S. Park Police Officer during
the hours of 0700 - 0900, Monday through Friday, to provide assistance
in this area. Further. this Agency plans to carry the concept of this
traffic flow pattern into the Agency compound through the use of safety
cones, signs and positioning of General Services Administration Special
Police.
Your assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated by this
Agency. Should you desire clarifying discussions concerning this matter,
do not hesitate to communicate such to my office.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT North Gate Traffic
REFERENCE Memo dtd 20 Nov 67 to D/L fm DD/S,
same subject
1. This memorandum contains recommendations for your royal; such
recommendations are contained in paragraph 3.
2. Representatives of the Office of Logistics and the Office of Security
have examined the north gate traffic problem as outlined in Mr
letter, contained as an attachment to the reference. Analysis tr c ow
indicates that the steps outlined below will relieve the congestion in this area.
The changes requiring modification of present traffic outside the Headquarters
perimeter must be approved by the US Park Police and the Superintendent of the
George Washington Memorial Parkway, Department of the Interior. These steps
are as follows and are shown on the attached sketch of the area:
a. In order to separate traffic into free-flowing lanes, barrier
cones and signs can be placed on the bridge approach over the George
Washington Memorial Parkway forcing incoming traffic into the left lane,
thereby freeing the right lane for traffic entering from the right.
b. To allow for the few cars that must enter the Bureau of Public
Roads area, and to assure that traffic flows in an orderly manner as out-
lined above, a traffic director is required at the top of the inbound ramp.
According to the Office of Security, the US Park Police may be able to
provide an off-duty officer on a reimbursable basis for this assignment.
c. While the above recommendations will provide for a better
flow of traffic outside the perimeter of Headquarters, it will be necessary
to modify internal traffic to reap the benefit of the external changes.
