Wabash Plan Clears Hurdles for Grade Separation Work
The board of public works adopted resolutions for grade separation at Broadway and Taylor and will notify the Wabash Railroad of hearings. The city council must ratify the Hoagland avenue and Kansas street vacation, Grand street relocation, and opening, to allow the freight house project. The Wabash aims to begin once approvals are in place, with further street vacations planned. The board also seeks amendments to theater safety ordinances to include smaller venues and automatic seating, though costs may meet opposition. Exits remain marked with red lights and most theaters are on the ground floor, with Lyric noted as fire proof.
