Three Phase Central Artery Plan Outlined for City Businessmen
Pittsfield planners hear Arthur C. McGill present a three phase plan to link Center and Seymour streets into a north south arterial route. The project, first new traffic artery in 50 years to ease North Street congestion, would span from Center Street to Seymour Street via the Columbus project area and Summer Street. Phase I would extend to the railroad tracks with an underpass, Phase II would be long range and built by the city, Phase III would reach Seymour Street ten years hence. The route aims to spur commercial development and parking, with related Adams Street and Tyler Park connections also under consideration. Kingsley R. Fall lauded the scope, noting urban renewal would start the nibble approach while the full plan unfolds.
