Movement Begins to Secure Right-of-Way for U S 90 in Alpine
City officials in Alpine and Brewster County push to obtain right-of-way for a federal project on U S 90. Plans include widening Hol land Avenue west from Seventh Street, an underpass at Santa Fe, storm sewer to Alpine Creek, and a first-class bridge at Ninth Street. The state highway commission cannot fund right-of-way purchases, but the Brewster County Chamber of Commerce directors endorse the project and seek county financial help to secure the needed land and speed federal aid.
