West Side Endorses Elevated I-64 Structure in Charleston
The Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce backed a resolution urging the State Road Commission to set piers under I-64 on the West Side instead of a dirt fill. John DeVere and William McCormick warned a fill would create a Berlin Wall like barrier while an elevated structure preserves land for parking and future development. Mayor Shanklin supports the plan, noting a $100 000 local cost under the 90 10 interstate fund and anticipated new federal appropriations after the 1972 cut-off.
