Witt urges Canton wire system overhaul and double tracks
Peter Witt, Cleveland traction expert, outlines to Canton council a two week survey recommending a double track system to replace the current single track. He calls for new turnouts, extensions on Gibbs and Cherry Avenues, abandonment of the McKinley Avenue line, reduced tracks in the public square with shelter platforms, and move to modernize equipment and traffic rules downtown. He also proposes parkland use for the Tuscarawas Street area and a road to the McKinley monument.
