Rock outlines White River Renaissance and long range plan
Mayor Robert L. Rock presented a broad set of proposals at the East Side Community Club. The centerpiece is a long range transportation plan for the Anderson Urbanized Area extending to 2000, including continuation of Indian Trail Parkway and a Raible Avenue bridge. He envisions a river renaissance with parks and businesses along White River as projects unfold with federal funding tied to plan adoption. The group questioned the absence of a 10th Street bridge linking Park Place downtown. Rock said adoption would bind decisions, while public hearings invite input. Other items include the Truman Memorial Bridge opening soon and potential Third Street improvements with involvement from city, Anderson College and Church of God. He backed housing for low income and elderly, with criteria before the housing authority takes action.
