Athens council approves cooperation measure for arterial survey
The Athens city council passed an emergency cooperation ordinance to prompt a federal state arterial survey for possible highway aid. The move, done by suspending rules, aims to inform Max Farley of the State Highway Department and advance the plan at a Marietta conference. The project may cost about 7000 dollars and hinges on an origin and destination traffic study to gauge 95 percent aid eligibility. The council seeks cost estimates from Baker Engineers Stilson Engineers Burgess and Niple and Clark and Sheeter and debates financing options.
