City Council for Union Park Street Widening Veto Sparks Debate
The Finance Commission vetoed a 95 000 loan for Union Park street widening, prompting opposition and a move to the City Council. Mayor Fitzgerald partly sided with the commission, Monsignor Splaine urged broader view, and Cathedral Guild counsel Cunningham noted the city would share half the cost. The project aims to widen the alley between Union Park Street, Washington Street, and Harrison Avenue per prior city and cathedral understandings.
