Outside Work of City Department Nears Completion
The Public Works department reports nearly finished outside work on High Street and Courtland Street structures. 28 new street projects are near completion with plans to finish in a few days. No new projects this season, but funds may be sought to improve Rail Pond south of the viaduct with top dressing of cinders as a temporary fix due to a pending lawsuit over intercepting sewer. Permanent pavement for Railroad Avenue is urged to relieve truck traffic and enable one way routing on State Street and Falfeild Avenue.
