parkway, boulevard, highway or other public way within the district, or
lay or authorize water mains or sewers or other utilities or connections to
be laid in any such street, road, parkway, boulevard, highway or other
public way within the district, after the commission shall have adopted
and certified a major highway plan of the district, unless such street, road,
parkway, boulevard, highway or other public way (a) shall have been
accepted or opened as or shall otherwise have received the legal status of
a public way prior to the adoption and certification of such plan or (b)

county commissioners or other state, county or local board or officer author-

such street be first submitted to the commission for its approval and, if
approved by the commission, be enacted or passed by not less than a ma-

proposed ordinance, or other measure it shall communicate its reasons to
the council or other board or officer. A street or other public way approved
by the commission upon such submission to it, shall thereupon have the
status of an approved street or other public way as fully as though it had
been originally shown on the official highway plan of the district or on a
plat originally made by the commission or on a subdivision plat approved
by the commission.
