Capital City Cleaning Choked River Channel Plan Emerges
City officials push a sweeping riverfront cleanup funded by acquiring 29 acres on the south shore between Lamar and Congress avenues from the R E Jones Grave Company. A three person appraisal panel will set a sale price while channel work shifts dirt for a bridge approach and a potential south shore boulevard. The plan tightens control over gravel digging, funds a future floodway, and includes school district moves for a west tide junior high and a south side high school with a city hall underground parking.
