Fourth, that sufficient right-of-way should be purchased and e reserved to allow for future expansion of this highway should it become necessary. This consideration should apply along the entire route, as well as at all intersections; and particular attention should be given to the intersection at Beltline Highway where long-range planning indicates that a full interchange will eventually be required. Fifth, that strong consideration should be given to landscaping along the route to improve its aesthetic aspects both from the point of view of those using the road as well as that of adjacent properties and businesses. Answering a question from Ms. Wooten, Mr. Gleason said enough right-of-way should be purchased for future expansion of the intersection at Beltline Hi ghway. Ms. Wooten emphasized that there are no local or City funds involved in the project. Ms. Bascom said it is important to be able to upgrade the Beltline intersec- tion. She did not think the fifth item in the motion is strong enough to provide the Fern Ridge Parkway west from Seneca Road she had proposed.
