Amarillo Chamber Endorses Plan While City Faults Texas Highway Proposal
The Amarillo city commission backed the chamber of commerce highway plan as economically feasible alternatives, while rejecting the Texas Highway Department’s proposal as impractical for funding. Mayor Joe Jenkins and City Manager A. P. Hancock indicated airport expansion could follow highway decisions. The chamber proposed widening Fast Tenth and North East Eighth, improving lighting, eliminating bottlenecks on Fillmore and West Sixth, creating a parking zone, studying northeast routes, and rerouting the Canyon highway to ease downtown congestion. The commission continues studies of existing routes with plans to cooperate with the highway department, though no construction timetable was set.
