Peter Samuel argues that extending East Street to connect with I-70 will reduce traffic in Frederick's historic district by diverting delivery and through traffic away from Carroll East Patrick East Street. He notes current routes pass through the district to reach I-270 I-70 US 15 and US 340 and contends East Street improvements plus a direct southward link to the interstates fit the city's plans.
