Weat Area Council Promotes Big Traffic Plan
A Chicago area civic group led by the Chicago Motor Club and chambers of commerce proposes switching to oneway traffic on U S route 20 from Desplaines Street to Harlem Avenue. Randolph Street becomes the westbound corridor, with changes through Oak Park and Forest Park to ease congestion at Harlem and Lake Streets. The plan includes park drives and a staged flow into Garfield Park and West End streets, extending west to Maywood and Lake Street, replacing Harlem as the main east west flow.
