BLACHLY FARM 
On the Blachly Farm no new work has been accomplished, 
except that a small portion of its open ground is being used as a 
nursery for trees and shrubs for the department's services. The 
property is being cared for, however, and is being only slightly 
used by the public at this time. 
BLOODY RUN PARKWAY 
For the purpose of readily identifying certain sections of 
Bloody Run Parkway this has been subdivided on our maps in 
the numbered sections, as follows: 
Section 1. From Chapel Street and Durrell Avenue to Gilbert Avenue. 
Section 2. From Gilbert Avenue to Rockdale Avenue. 
Section 3. From Rockdale Avenue to Dana Avenue. 
Section 4. From Dana Avenue to Woodburn Avenue. 
Section 5. From Woodburn Avenue to Asmann Avenue (formerly Hopkins). 
Section 6. From Asmann Avenue to Sherman Avenue and Reading Road, 
From Asmann Avenue southward to Dana Avenue, on Sec- 
tions 5 and 4, grading work is being done in preparation for the 
building of a westerly road between Asmann and Woodburn 
Avenues, and on Section 4, between Woodburn and Dana Aven- 
ues on the easterly side part way. On Section 2, one roadway of 
park property has been completed, well paved asphaltum bound 
macadam, between Rockdale Avenue and Gilbert Avenue. This 
road is already very considerably used for pleasure driving, and 
is a means of communication between the easterly and northerly 
parts of the city. The grading work is being pushed from Gil- 
bert Avenue south to Chapel Street on Durrell Avenue. From 
Gilbert Avenue south to the Lutheran Cemetery this grading work 
is in preparation for the construction of the westerly roadway, 
tying into a single road on Durrell Avenue, and Durrell Avenue 
is a 100 foot boulevard to Chapel Street at present. A very 
material correction of lines at the intersection of Gilbert Avenue 
with the Bloody Run Parkway has been provided for with the 
co-operation of the Service Department of the city. The crossing 
of Gilbert Avenue will be materially widened; the curve-lines 
softened very much better and the grade of Gilbert Avenue 
raised approximately five feet; through these arrangements 
making possible on this crossing a very fine intersection of roads 
and correction of travel lines.
